Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to reveal her choice for vice presidential running mate by Tuesday. This announcement follows interviews held over the weekend with leading candidates at her Washington residence.

Key Candidates

Harris interviewed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, U.S. Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Other contenders include Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.

Upcoming Tour

Harris and her new running mate will embark on a five-day tour across seven key battleground states. The tour includes stops in Philadelphia, Eau Claire, Detroit, Durham, Savannah, Phoenix, and Las Vegas, with rallies planned at college campuses, historically Black universities, union halls, and local restaurants.

Campaign Strategy

The Harris campaign has launched a new initiative called “Republicans for Harris,” aiming to attract Republican voters. The campaign also highlights endorsements from former Trump officials Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye.

Union Support

On Monday, Harris secured another union endorsement, with the hospitality workers union praising her for her strong record with labor issues.
