Former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign formally announced the committee that will vet potential running mates on Thursday, beginning a search that will culminate in one of the campaign’s key moments ahead of the Democrat’s general election battle with President Donald Trump.
"The Co-Chairs of his selection process will conduct conversations across the party as well as work with a network of vetting teams led by former White House Counsel Bob Bauer, campaign General Counsel Dana Remus and former Homeland Security Adviser Lisa Monaco, to provide Vice President Biden with the background and information he needs to make his decision," according to a release from the Biden campaign.
Hogan is a longtime aide to Biden, and served as deputy assistant to the president and counsel to the vice president from 2009 to 2013, leading the Obama administration's successful effort to confirm Justice Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court during his first term in office. While the committee’s announcement marks the formal beginning of the vice presidential vetting, Biden has been vocal about the search for the woman to join him at the top of the ticket for a job he is intimately familiar with, often discussing the topic on the campaign trail prior to becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee, and with curious donors at recent fundraisers.
The former vice president said in a recent interview that he believes it will take until July to narrow down a list that he told ABC’s “The View” last month stood at roughly 11 names.
