Did Politico just give away Biden’s VP pick?

Earlier today Politico published a piece stating that Joe Biden had selected Kamala Harris to be his vice-president. The big problem is the article said Biden chose her on Aug. 1st, a date which is in the future, and included a quote from Biden about the yet-to-happen announcement.

Politico is now saying it was a “technical error.”

Here’s the updated story after it was fixed by editors…

Huh?

Politico labeled Sen. Kamala Harris as Biden’s running mate… that he chose on August 1 (4 days from now).https://t.co/M3dhmIwZ7o pic.twitter.com/99GDHzWPnL

Politico published an article claiming Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate, and announced it August 1. It’s since been changed, and scrubbed from the piece.
