Something for Kamala Harris fans to keep in mind. Based on Joe Biden's public remarks, he clearly wants Kamala in his inner circle. So if he picks someone else as his running mate, it probably means Kamala will be Attorney General – and she'll be the one to put Trump in prison.

Keep in mind that we don't know if Kamala would rather be VP or AG. VP is higher ranking, but AG is her wheelhouse. She'd excel at either, but we don't know what she wants, let alone what Biden wants.

Also keep in mind that cabinet positions aren't traditionally announced until after you win an election. Biden can announce his cabinet now, but it would be an unusual move. So even if Biden doesn't pre-announce Kamala for AG, he could still be planning to do it.

The point is, we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. A lot more usually goes into these decision making processes than ever does become public. If Biden makes a pick that doesn't make sense to you, consider that you don't know everything that he does about the situation

You're also going to see a number of false stories about who Biden's going to pick. When it comes to this kind of thing, the media knows it can run with "leaks" from the most unreliable of sources, with no repercussions, because no one knows the real truth yet anyway.

Even Biden's own allies could end up leaking that he's going to pick this or that name, because they're trying to make it a self fulfilling prophecy. Of course these leaks usually come from "allies" who aren't particularly close to the candidate, so it's not enlightening.

Biden's timetable is tricky. He's already the nominee, so he can announce his VP at any time. But with the pandemic, the media isn't giving much attention to what Biden says or does. Why waste the VP announcement now, when he can wait a few weeks and get more traction from it?

Poll numbers make clear that Trump isn't helping himself by hogging all the attention with this daily press briefings. Biden pops up here and there, but he's mostly letting Trump hang himself. Why interrupt Trump's mistake, by asking for attention with an early VP rollout?

While we wait for the VP announcement, take everything you hear with a gallon of salt. Biden has only told us two things:

- His VP will be a woman

- He clearly wants Kamala somewhere on his team

Beyond that, nothing you hear will be reliable until Biden makes an announcement.
