Former Vice President Joe Biden responded on Saturday to a question about his running mate choice, jokingly claiming to have selected a Fox News reporter. While Biden was biking near his beach house in Delaware, Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked the presumptive Democrat nominee if he had decided who his vice presidential candidate will be. “Yeah, I have,” Biden said. When pushed further, the former vice president claimed that the Fox News reporter was his choice for the post: Shortly after the quip, Biden’s national press secretary took to social media to clarify that a running mate decision had yet to be finalized and that Biden was joking with Doocy: The joke came as Biden’s running mate search is winding down, a decision expected as early as next week. In recent days, the former vice president’s allies have signaled the two leading contenders are Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and former Obama-era National Security Adviser Susan Rice.
