Joe Biden has a set of advisers in place to guide him in his choice of a running mate, relying on current and former members of Congress, rising star elected officials, and a longtime aide from his time as vice president and a Delaware senator.

Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said Thursday his vice-presidential selection committee will consist of former Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, and Cynthia C. Hogan, a staff member for Biden when he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and then during his first term as vice president, from 2009-2013.
