U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris meets with gun violence victims in Parkland

Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is gearing up for a swing state tour next week alongside her yet-to-be-announced running mate. The anticipation surrounding her choice has led to speculation and adjustments in the schedules of potential candidates.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro had plans for donor and fundraising events in New York, including the Hamptons, which have now been canceled. Shapiro has engaged in multiple meetings with Harris aides involved in the vetting process, indicating his consideration for the role.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, another contender for the vice-presidential slot, also experienced changes in his schedule. A roadway safety roundtable that Buttigieg was scheduled to attend was canceled due to unforeseen scheduling constraints, as confirmed by a Department of Transportation spokesperson.
