Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to announce her running mate within the next few days and will begin touring battleground states with them next week, according to a report. After President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, Harris quickly entered the presidential election and has been actively campaigning. She has raised millions of dollars in donations and is set to be officially nominated at the Democratic National Convention next month. Harris has faced polls showing that President Donald Trump is outperforming her in crucial battleground states.
Several potential vice presidential picks for Harris have been named, including Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer have both stated that they are not in the running. As Harris considers her running mate, Trump has faced criticism for his choice of Senator JD Vance from Ohio, known for his strong views on abortion and immigration. Despite rumors that Trump may regret his VP pick, his communications director stated that Trump is thrilled with the choice and is confident in their ability to win the election.
Trump has expressed support for Vance and indicated that his choice would not have changed, even if Harris had launched her campaign before he selected his running mate. The situation has led to speculation and criticism of the Democratic party, with some suggesting that they are in disarray following Biden’s exit from the race. However, Harris remains focused on her campaign and is preparing to announce her running mate soon. The upcoming tour of battleground states with her VP pick will be a crucial moment in the campaign as they seek to gain support and momentum leading up to the November election. As the race intensifies, both candidates are working to solidify their platforms and win over undecided voters.
