Even governors have to provide references if they want to be Joe Biden's running mate.
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has reportedly asked potential running mates to provide references as the vice presidential selection committee starts its formal vetting process, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, the first tangible sign of the committee making moves to determine Biden's pick.
The first known contender to be asked for those references is New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, per an anonymous individual with knowledge of the request in the report. It did not report any other women on Biden's vice presidential consideration list who received such a request.
Lujan Grisham has told her allies in recent days that Biden's team had begun vetting her to be his running mate, Politico reported on Tuesday.
