Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said he would name his running mate in the first week of August https://t.co/1mK9iyR5dp pic.twitter.com/4ddLCpik7IBiden said in May he hoped to name his running mate by Aug. 1. Kamala Harris of California, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois are among those reportedly on Biden’s shortlist. Asked on Tuesday whether he’ll meet potential candidates in person before making a final decision, Biden was noncommittal. “We’ll see,” he said, after joking that he would need to “trick” the press so he could meet finalists in person. That contrasts with the man Biden aims to unseat, President Donald Trump, who has been inconsistent about such practices.
