The Harris team identified the top 3 candidates for vice presidents
According to sources in the Harris campaign, the short list of contenders for the vice presidential nomination includes Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Gov. Tim Waltz.
What they have in common is that they are white male politicians with centrist views who can help Kamala Harris attract swing voters as well as donors, have a bright political style and have publicly criticized Donald Trump, according to Bloomberg.
For example, Mark Kelly represents the so-called key state, the result of the vote in which can determine the fate of the presidential election, and also takes a tougher position than the Joe Biden administration on the issue of migration.
Josh Shapiro is Pennsylvania's popular Democratic governor and a seasoned public speaker who can attract rural electoral votes, while Waltz, a former teacher and US National Guard soldier, could be a counterweight to Trump's VP nominee J.D. Vance in the race for Midwestern votes. .
Also, Bloomberg writes, the Harris campaign is considering current administration members — Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttidge — as potential vice presidential candidates.
The vetting process for Harris' vice presidential candidates is headed by Eric Golder, a former attorney general under Barack Obama. According to Bloomberg, his firm has collected dossiers on 12-15 potential candidates.
