Vice President Kamala Harris is set to name her running mate ahead of a crucial campaign tour of battleground states.
The highly anticipated announcement is expected to take place before a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday, where Harris will appear alongside her chosen nominee.
Fresh from securing the Democratic nomination, Harris is riding a wave of momentum, having shattered fundraising records and drawn massive crowds since launching her presidential bid.
The five-day tour will take Harris to key states including Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina, as she seeks to solidify support among Black and Hispanic voters.
The running mate shortlist is believed to include Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and US Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Harris’s campaign has raised $310 million in July alone, more than double that of her Republican rival, Donald Trump.
Harris will kick off her five-day run Tuesday in the largest — Pennsylvania — as she builds momentum for her showdown with Republican Donald Trump on November 5.
“At this moment, we face a choice between two visions for our nation: one focused on the future and the other on the past… This campaign is about people coming together, fueled by love of country, to fight for the best of who we are,” she posted on X.
