Biden To Announce Running Mate Next Week

Joe Biden plans to choose his vice president by the first week of August, having pledged to select a woman, with many urging him to pick a woman of color. Potential candidates include Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Susan Rice, and Karen Bass. Biden was seen with notes about Harris, highlighting her as a great help to the campaign despite past debate clashes. He was also seen with Bass and has been in contact with Warren. Rice, though experienced, has never run for office. Choosing a black woman would be historic, marking the first on a major party presidential ticket.
