The Democratic contest to be Harris’ running mate will likely be decided in the next week
SUMMARY
The vice president is expected to decide on her running mate within the next week according to sources close to her campaign. Democrat Josh Shapiro recently endorsed Kamala Harris as a future president while showcasing his accomplishments as Pennsylvania’s governor. Similarly, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear praised Harris and highlighted his electoral successes in Republican-dominated areas. Both governors are part of the traditional vice presidential audition process, balancing self-promotion with support for Harris. Her campaign is vetting about a dozen potential running mates, with Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly seen as leading contenders. Harris and her chosen running mate will begin traveling to battleground states next week, though specific details remain confidential.
