NEW: Doug Jones emerging as leading contender for AG. He and Biden have relationship dating back 40+ years.

Merrick Garland also in the mix, sources tell myself @carolelee @kwelkernbc @GeoffRBennett & @mitchellreports
Jones introduced Biden, then a young senator, when he spoke at his Alabama law school in '70s; later worked w/Biden on Judiciary Cmte as staffer for Sen. Howell Heflin. Jones was Alabama co-chair of Biden’s 1988 campaign and helped on his 2008 bid
Biden joined Jones at the 16th Street Baptist Church last year for an annual commemoration of the bombing; Jones prosecuted two Klansmen as U.S. Atty. “He, like many of you, never give up on justice,” Biden said at the event.
