The Biden campaign declined to comment.Flight records show a charter plane left Lansing's Capital Region International Airport at 5:33 p.m. Sunday for Delaware Coastal Airport and returned at 11:16 p.m. that same night, according to FlightAware.No individuals are named on flight records and one of the Democrats familiar with the search declined to say where the meeting took place.Whitmer's office would not confirm whether she has met with Biden."We are unable to confirm this, and we don't discuss the governor's personal schedule," Whitmer's spokesperson Tiffany Brown told CNN Friday night.The consideration of Whitmer suggests Biden has yet to decide whether to choose a woman of color, which many supporters and Black leaders have urged him to do, in the wake of summer protests over police brutality and systemic racism.CNN reported Friday that Biden is also seriously considering California Sen.
