Joe Biden’s announcement of a running mate has been pushed off another week and will now take place the second week of August according to the Houston Chronicle, after trial balloons, pushing California Democrat Rep. Karen Bass and former Obama administration United Nations ambassador Susan Rice both fell flat.

‘Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, initially said he’d select his running mate by Aug. 1,” the Chronicle reported Sunday. “Then on Tuesday, he told reporters that he intended to make up his mind by the end of the first week of August, which would be Aug. 8.”
