Good! Keep you powder dry - no need to rush it.

1. IMO it should be earlier. Gets another competent voice out there

punching and counter-punching, and ends the exhausting speculation as well as the ‘audition’ criticisms.

4. Totally agree.

I'd venture a guess that his campaign already picked someone.

Just get on with it already.

2. It may take Trump a little longer.

3. Biden is Doing Well in State and National Polls - I'd Wait As Long As Possible to Name Running Mate

I never understood the calls for him to name his VP early. That just gives GOP more time to attack whoever he chooses.

5. Not asking for early, but, Aug is definitely later than necessary.

6. I agree.

Because it'll be a woman, people will be more likely to believe all the lies and fake news that's going to come her way. Better to put it off for as long as possible.

8. As long as I can remember, it was always within a week of the convention

That's why, when they said he was going to announce months early, it made no sense since it only gives the GOP more time to attack "the ticket", not just the individual candidates.
