Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for the upcoming US presidential election scheduled for November 5th, has narrowed her choice for Vice President down to two potential candidates. Sources close to the campaign have revealed that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are the final contenders. While Harris has secured enough delegates to be the Democratic nominee, a virtual roll call will solidify her position. She is expected to make her first public appearance with her chosen running mate at Temple University in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, leading many to believe that an announcement is imminent.
In a message to supporters late Monday, Harris confirmed that a decision has yet to be made but acknowledged the widespread anticipation. “I know many of you are eager to find out who I will be selecting to join me on the campaign trail, and hopefully in the White House, as my Vice President,” she stated, emphasizing the importance of providing direct updates to grassroots supporters.
