It seems likely Democrats will have a presumptive vice-presidential nominee by August 7. That is historically rather late in the process, but not too unusual.
The ticket that took the longest to be presumptively known, in history, was the Republican ticket in 2008. John McCain didn’t express his preference for a v-p, Sarah Palin, until August 29.
Second-latest was the Democratic ticket of 2008, when Barack Obama didn’t announce Joe Biden until August 23.

“It seems likely Democrats will have a presumptive vice-presidential nominee by August 7”
Seems likely based on what?
Apropos, the American equivalent of The Sun claims to have an anonymous source close to Biden who says Biden endorsed Harris to get back at Obama for forcing him to drop out of the race, because Obama was backing astronaut twin Mark Kelly for Democratic presidential nominee since he correctly does not think Harris stands a chance. What are people thoughts on this? Credible? Nonsense?
OBAMA JUST ENDORSED HARRIS
Of course he did. It’s incredibly foolish that anyone expected otherwise or is even mildly surprised. There was always zero chance that this wouldn’t happen.
There was a good chance that he would endorse Big Mike, or apparently Mark Kelly, right up until Biden endorsed her. Because, remember, it wasn’t at all clear that delegates pledged to Biden would transfer their support to Harris once unbound – and it still isn’t certain, for that matter, though the election betting odds for her nomination are looking increasingly strong. It would be incredibly foolish for anyone to pretend otherwise, though not surprising coming from Reality/Actually/Confused/Curious/No thx/etc’s given its track-record.
It’s always great to hear from our friends in the non reality based community. On earth one, a majority of delegates literally pledged their support for Harris well before the Biden speech, and it was clear as daylight way before that, except in whatever alternate mental universe the last commenter inhabits.
