BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Joe Biden says he’s pushing ahead with his search for a running mate and revealed that he had a conversation with Sen. Bernie Sanders – his last remaining rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Speaking with donors during a virtual fundraiser on Friday night, the former vice president and all-but-certain Democratic nominee said: “I am in the process and I actually had this discussion with Bernie. He’s a friend. We’re competitors, but he’s a friend and a very compassionate person. I say that because he didn’t make any jokes about the unsubstantiated rumors that have I am suffering from the early stages of dementia. In fact, he persuaded me to wait until December to announce my running mate, explaining that I have a lot of more important issues I currently need to address. So, I will be making my carefully selected choice for VP, sometime during the upcoming holiday season.”
