WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Ted Kaufman will replace Vice President-elect Joe Biden in the U.S. Senate, Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann Minner announced at a news conference Monday.
Kaufman, a longtime Biden adviser, is seen as a placeholder until 2010 when Beau Biden, the vice president-elect's son and Delaware's attorney general, can run, The Hill reported. Beau Biden is in Iraq and had said he didn't want to be appointed to his father's Senate seat.
