Edward "Ted" Kaufman, a former aide to Sen. Joe Biden, was named Monday by Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann Minner to fill the Senate seat Biden is leaving for the vice presidency. Kaufman is president of a political and management consulting firm based in Wilmington.

Speculation on Biden's successor had centered in recent weeks on his son, Attorney General Beau Biden. Last week, however, the younger Biden announced that he planned to fulfill his National Guard duties and wouldn't accept an appointment to his father's U.S. Senate seat.

"I'm sorry to say I see more primaries in the 21st Century because there is no gatekeeper. The party eliminated itself as a gatekeeper when it moved from the convention selection of candidates to the primary selection of candidates. We've created entrepreneurial candidates, and they're going to run," said Edward E. "Ted" Kaufman, who is a top adviser to Joe Biden and goes back far enough to identify himself as a Daniello partisan in that primary of long ago.

Kaufman President of BBG... leads to Voice of America airwaves overseas

– In a letter that takes exception to the scathing criticism from the Public Diplomacy Council, a Washington, D.C-based nonprofit NGO, the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which manages U.S. government-funded international broadcasts, insists that Congress had approved BBG’s decision to terminate Voice of America (VOA) radio broadcasts to several countries, including Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, and India.
