In a sign that the choice is now in Mr. Biden's hands alone, the four-member committee that screened his potential running mates is said to have effectively disbanded – its work is complete, Biden allies said, and there is little left to do except for Mr. Biden to make up his mind.
– Joseph R. Biden Jr. has told allies that he has interviewed every finalist in his vice-presidential search, and his advisers are planning an announcement for the middle of the week, people briefed on the selection process said on Monday.
Mr. Biden has spoken with the vice-presidential candidates through a combination of in-person sessions and remote meetings over the last few weeks, but the exact timing and circumstances of all of the meetings are not clear.
The campaign accelerated its vice-presidential planning this weekend, preparing outreach efforts to help the future running mate connect with core Democratic constituencies and readying fund-raisers around her selection.
Mr. Biden's political team has prepared rollout plans for several of the finalists, and he is expected to announce his decision as soon as Tuesday, though more Democrats expect it to come on Wednesday.
