Ted Kaufman was named by Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner to fill Vice President Joe Biden's vacated Senate seat. Kaufman, a long-time Biden aide, has said he will hold onto the seat until 2010, at which point many believe Biden's son, Beau Biden, will run for the post in a special election.
Kaufman stepped in to become Delaware's junior Senator after Biden formally resigned his seat. He was sworn in on January 16, 2009.The News Journal (Delaware): Minner Taps Kaufman for Biden's Seat (November 24, 2008)
