Edward E. "Ted" Kaufman (born c. 1939[2]) is a United States Senator, representing Delaware. Kaufman was a member of the advisory board of the Obama-Biden Transition Project and Co-Chair of Vice President-elect Biden's transition team.[3] He replaced Vice President-elect Joe Biden on January 14 2009.[4]

Kaufman earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Duke University and a Master of Business Administration from the Wharton School. From 1973 to 1995, he was on Biden's Senate staff, spending the last 19 years as chief of staff. Kaufman also worked on Biden's Senate campaigns. Later, he worked as a senior lecturing fellow at Duke University School of Law, beginning in 1991, and in a private consulting firm. In 1995, he was appointed by President Bill Clinton to the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), where he served four terms.[5][6] Kaufman resigned from the BBG on November 25, 2008.[5]

On November 24, 2008, Governor Ruth Ann Minner of Delaware announced her intention to appoint Kaufman to replace Joe Biden in the Senate.[7] Kaufman stated his intention not to run for election at the end of his term and will be replaced in a special election in 2010.[8] He was an elector for Barack Obama in 2008.[9]
