Harris’s VP Search Heats Up
Well, folks, it looks like Vice President Kamala Harris is in a rush to find her running mate for the 2024 ticket! Word on the street is her team is cozying up to two front-runners, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona’s Sen. Mark Kelly. Politico let the cat out of the bag on Thursday, and the vetting process is getting more interesting every day.
You’ve got to wonder, though, are these candidates really up to snuff? It’s like trying to pick the best option from a not-so-great bunch. Fox News Digital tried to find out if Harris’ team also talked to Tim Walz of Minnesota, but Harris’ camp is keeping mum.
And let’s not forget those odd bills Harris backed that, if they’d passed, would’ve had taxpayers up in arms!
Potential VP Candidates
| Candidate | Current Position | State |
|---|---|---|
| Josh Shapiro | Governor | Pennsylvania |
| Mark Kelly | Senator | Arizona |
| Roy Cooper | Governor | North Carolina |
| Pete Buttigieg | Transportation Secretary | Indiana |
| Andy Beshear | Governor | Kentucky |
The Big Announcement
Monday’s just around the corner, and that’s when Harris is expected to reveal the big name. The chosen one is set to jump right into action with a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday. It almost seems like Harris is hinting that Shapiro’s the frontrunner—considering he’s practically a Philly native, coming from Montgomery County.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign is likely having a ball watching this unfold, especially given the challenges Harris has faced during her vice presidency. Keep your eyes peeled!
Breaking from Tradition?
In the past, announcing VP picks in their home state hasn’t been the go-to move in recent elections, but rumors are swirling that it might happen this time. Could this be Shapiro’s chance to shine?
Harris is also considering North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear. Even Ashley Etienne, Harris’ former communications director, chimed in, putting her money on Kelly for the position.
Get ready, folks—this race is heating up!
