Lot of good candidates' names have been floated. I'm certain he's agonizing over it.

I think the most important thing is for a careful and deliberate vetting. The worst thing that could happen is for Biden to pick a running mate and then have to deal with some issue that could get exploited by the republicans. Democrats need to proceed cautiously, making sure that whoever is the VP pick doesn't become the main story in the lead up to the election.

In terms of the raw date, it's still right in the middle of the pack, for all the folks on the internet who are going to lose their damn minds over "HoW LOnG it'S TAkInG", but who really just want to find something, anything, to criticize about Biden
