The marathon presidential race that began for former Vice President Joe Biden more than 450 days ago now enters a crucial stretch -- the final 100 days until Election Day in a campaign that continues to be tested by the coronavirus.
"When I get all the vetting done of all the candidates then I'm going to narrow the list. And then we'll see -- and then I'm going to have personal discussions with each of the candidates who are left," Biden said of his vice presidential search. Still, Biden has refused to publicly concede to the pressure, noting that he is not basing his decision on any one criteria. His choice, he said, will take into consideration a number of factors -- first and foremost, if the candidates can step into the role of president on day one and if they are"simpatico" with his own views.
"I think we’re gonna do it well, and I’ll still do a convention speech in a different form, but we won't do a big, crowded convention per se. It's just not the right time for that," Trump told reporters during a coronavirus briefing at the White House on Thursday.
Perez also reiterated on Friday, the day after Trump’s announcement, that the national convention is still set to be"anchored in Milwaukee," with Biden accepting the nomination in person as planned. But organizers behind the Democrats’ convention have yet to release details on who exactly will be in the audience for Biden’s speech and what the crowd size will be. The party also has yet to announce details on the plans for satellite locations that are expected to be weaved into each night’s programming.
