Joe Biden's vice presidential election has been one of Washington's best-kept secrets, but a supposedly accidental news release and Biden's own mocking notes are raising expectations that the winner is Kamala Harris.
Speculation about VP choice is a parlor game that is played every four years in Washington, but this time the stakes are unusually high.
Biden would be 78 years old, the oldest American president in history, and has hinted that he may not seek a second term, making his deputy the leading candidate to assume the party's nomination.
Biden, who strongly leads the polls against Republican President Donald Trump, has also increased the interest factor by declaring well in advance that he would only choose one woman. This will be just the third time in US history that a woman is chosen, even if both previous cases, Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and Sarah Palin in 2008, resulted in losing tickets.
