A long-time campaigner for the White House, and a vice president to Obama, Biden now faces a great challenge: choose the right running mate, and defeat Donald Trump in November.
Donald Trump’s ‘rally round the flag’ effect was fleeting, and is unlikely to re-emerge.
For many years, political operatives have been perfecting their use of the internet’s vast array of social media platforms, websites and digital tools.
Vice presidential picks don’t have much direct effect on campaigns, but can give voters insight on a candidate’s judgment and leadership ability. Early Cabinet selections are likely to be similar.
