Joe Biden has said he’ll announce his pick of running mate the first week of August, which means next week. Politico has a piece on all of the vice-presidential contenders, but it looks like they published some text indicating that Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate on Aug. 1, which hasn’t happened yet. There’s even a quote from Biden, so …
Politico?
"Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris to become his running mate for the 2020 election on Aug. 1, two weeks before the Democratic National Convention, after keeping his choice close to the chest for months."https://t.co/5NCJoaLSNM pic.twitter.com/HD3Fq9aM1S

We understand that Politico might want to have a story ready to fire off the minute Biden announces his choice, but the inclusion of a quote from Biden himself makes it pretty suspicious … did the campaign send out an embargoed statement?
I hope it's her. She'll drag down his campaign.

It's noteworthy that a quote is attributed to Biden.

they've likely written up one for each of the possibilities. ready to paste in when his handlers tell Biden who will be his running mate.

Quotes from the “statement” and all?

That's the most well written and detailed technical error I have ever witnessed

Also remember that before one of the primary debates the Biden campaign sent out their post-debate fundraising email talking about what a good job Joe did.
So it could just be that his campaign is incompetent.

How did we get this publication from the future?

I wonder what Biden’s reaction will be when he finds out who he “picked”
— Psoastic (@psoastic) July 28, 2020
Very clearly a placeholder.

If true, at least we'll finally know who the real Democratic nominee for president is.
— Matthias (@MatthiasB07) July 28, 2020
Someone broke the embargo on that news release. Watch for the announcement Saturday.
— The Dim Mak (@aneyeforajedi) July 28, 2020
We’re thinking that’s very likely. They didn’t mean too, but they slipped in the statement and published it.
If this is true, Joe Biden is over.

The timing is right, the statement from Biden is there … sounds like it’s Harris to us.
