Biden Will Announce VP Selection Committee By May 1

The team that will help Joe Biden pick a candidate to possibly fill his former position will be in place by May 1. 

“We’re going to probably be announcing the setting up of that committee, which we’re doing now, between the people who have agreed to serve on it, and we will be announcing the formation of that I assume by May 1 we’ll have that done,” Biden said on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” which CBS aired early Wednesday morning.

Biden said it would likely take until July for the selection panel to narrow the list down to three contenders. The former vice president has promised to select a woman for the job.
