Three potential Democratic candidates, Governor Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania, Governor Tim Walz from Minnesota, and Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, are all staying in the running for Vice President Kamala Harris’s potential running mate. Shapiro, originally planned for fundraisers in the Hamptons, canceled the events without providing a clear reason.
Walz maintained his position in the speculation by participating in a workout while noted commentators discussed his viability as a pick. Kelly, on the other hand, refrained from commenting on his vetting status or upcoming schedule.
Harris has been diligently vetting her choices and is expected to conduct final interviews before making her selection. The Democratic National Committee is employing virtual voting to officially nominate Harris and her running mate before the party’s convention in Chicago.
As Harris intensifies her campaign schedule, potential running mates are making their case for the position. Walz highlighted his work implementing federal policies as a governor, without explicitly lobbying for the role.
Regardless of the differing approaches taken by the potential candidates, all three individuals are actively remaining in contention as Harris nears her decision.
