Harris readies for running mate announcement

Vice President Harris Nearing Running Mate Announcement Ahead of Battleground States Tour

Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to soon announce her running mate, with a tour of key battleground states slated to begin on Tuesday in Philadelphia. On Sunday, Harris conducted interviews with at least three potential candidates: Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

It remains uncertain whether Harris has also met with three other prominent contenders: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. The Democratic campaign is gearing up to visit seven critical swing states in the coming days, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.

This strategic tour and the anticipated announcement of her running mate underscore the importance of securing votes in these pivotal regions. The decision will likely play a crucial role in shaping the Democratic ticket’s strategy and outreach efforts leading up to the election.
