Above all Democrats are looking for a VP who appeals to the white working class—a skilled politician of Irish or perhaps Italian origin. A diversity hire, if you will. Someone named Andy, perhaps, or Mark.

One WH official told @MarkLeibovich he hopes Biden face-plants today at the NATO presser. “This is a terrible thing to say...But that might be the only thing that could force him out at this point, while there’s still time to rewrite the ending.”

One thing you can say about the Trump era is that it made hatred toward and general mischaracterization of the "US political press" a bipartisan pastime

Just an interesting tidbit: Most of the RFK-curious and Trump-supporting women I interviewed back in April hated Biden but loved their governor, Josh Shapiro. They told me then that they wished HE would run for president instead.
