Biden VP announcement extends into August, as top hopefuls face more scrutiny

  1. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has extended his choice for vice president, reportedly by as much as two weeks, after announcing plans to pick a running mate by Aug.
  2. Even an announcement this week would mean Biden would have a running mate just two weeks before the Democratic National Convention starting August 17.
  3. Kamala Harris, a 2020 Democratic presidential primary challenger against Biden, and former national security adviser Susan Rice are purportedly among the top picks.
  4. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., a member of Biden's vice-presidential vetting team, reportedly told donors that Harris "had no remorse" for her attacks on Biden while on the debate stage, according to a Politico story.
