Harris to Announce Running Mate by August 7

Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to announce her running mate for the 2024 presidential election by August 7. Potential candidates include Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, while Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper have ruled themselves out. Harris's campaign has already raised over $200 million since President Biden's exit. The decision comes as Harris prepares for the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and faces Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance. The choice is critical for securing key swing states and bolstering campaign finances.
