(CNN) — Caroline Kennedy has joined Barack Obama’s vice presidential selection team, an Obama campaign spokesman said Wednesday. Former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson is heading up the search team and former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is also serving on the committee. Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, formally endorsed Obama late January in a New York Times op-ed piece titled, “A President Like My Father.” “I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them,” Kennedy wrote then. “But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.” |
