The Washington Post, citing anonymous sources, reported that Jackson and Childs have been interviewed. The White House and allies close to the process declined to comment on the report to ABC News.

Despite the fact that Biden's schedule and attention have been dominated by the crisis between Russia and Ukraine, aides say announcement of the nomination -- promised by the end of the month -- is expected this week. Exact timing and format of a nomination event have not been determined because the president has not formally made his pick, sources said.

The president's allies on Capitol Hill and among grassroots groups have begun mobilizing to promote and defend the nominee, gearing up for a media blitz to mark both the historic nature of the nomination and counter expected Republican attacks, some of which have already been racially-charged.
