It was the first time Joe Biden has disclosed holding a private conversation with Bernie Sanders since the Democratic primary became a two-person race
Joe Biden disclosed Friday evening he has told his Democratic rival Bernie Sanders that he is moving forward with cabinet and vice presidential picks.
“And so I am in the process and I actually had this discussion with Bernie. He’s a friend. We’re competitors. He’s a friend. I don’t want him to think I’m being presumptuous but you have to start now deciding who you’re going to have background checks done on as potential vice presidential candidates and it takes time,” Biden added.
Sanders has said recently he believes he still has a narrow path to the nomination, despite a significant delegate deficit against Biden.
