From CBS News: Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is expected to officially announce her running mate sometime Tuesday morning, followed by a campaign video that will be released before their Philadelphia rally the same day, according to multiple people familiar with the selection process.
Politico first reported the campaign’s plans.
Harris’ expected announcement will come about two weeks after President Biden ended his reelection campaign, prompting the Democratic Party to quickly coalesce around the vice president.
On Sunday, Harris interviewed the top contenders to be her running mate, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly in person in Washington. She also met with other candidates in person and virtually.
It was reported Monday that Harris has narrowed her decision down to two candidates: Shapiro and Walz.
Harris is set to officially receive the Democratic nomination without having received a single vote, as the primaries were all held when Joe Biden was still on the 2024 ticket.
The pending announcement comes as the stock market is in a free-fall on Monday, and war is breaking out in the Middle East.
