Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is assigning four close campaign allies to head up the process leading to one of his most important decisions: picking a running mate.

Biden, who served as Barack Obama’s vice president, chose one of his former Senate colleagues, two elected politicians of color, and a former aide to run a panel that scours the backgrounds of those who could be the first U.S. female vice president.
