Biden names VP selection committee

Joe Biden said he hopes his vice presidential selection panel will be done vetting prospective candidates by July

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign on Thursday formally launched its running-mate selection committee, charged with vetting the third woman in U.S. history to seek the vice presidency on a major party ticket.

“These four co-chairs reflect the strength and diversity of our party, and will provide tremendous insight and expertise to what will be a rigorous selection and vetting process,” campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a written statement. “I need someone who's going to be, as Barack said, ‘simpatico with me,’ who is a real partner in progress and is ready to be president on a moment's notice,” Biden said Wednesday during a virtual fundraiser, according to a pool report. “There are a lot of women out there with the experience to do that job.”
