Vice President Kamala Harris is currently in the process of selecting her running mate for the upcoming election, with an announcement expected in the near future. Following the announcement, Harris and her chosen running mate plan to embark on a joint tour of key battleground states.
Since assuming the role of presidential candidate less than two weeks ago, Harris has been diligently reviewing detailed information on each of the top vice presidential contenders. While she has engaged in initial discussions with some candidates, formal interviews have yet to take place, but are scheduled to commence this week.
Her team has been actively researching and evaluating potential candidates, including analyzing videos of those under consideration. Among the leading contenders are Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear are also part of the conversation, although they are not currently viewed as front-runners.
The selection process is primarily focused on identifying a running mate who can enhance the electoral prospects of the Harris ticket. Polling data is being utilized to assess how certain candidates, particularly Shapiro and Kelly, could impact the race in crucial battleground states.
