Vice President Kamala Harris will be holding crucial interviews this Sunday to finalize her selection for the 2024 vice-presidential nomination, according to reports from the Washington Post.
Sources close to the situation have revealed that she has extended invitations to three prominent figures: Arizona’s Senator Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania’s Governor Josh Shapiro, and Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz.
The report also suggests uncertainty regarding whether other notable contenders—such as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Governors JB Pritzker of Illinois and Andy Beshear—will also meet with the Vice President during this critical selection period.
This development follows President Joe Biden’s recent announcement of his intention not to pursue re-election in 2024. In swift response, Harris expressed her desire for the Democratic nomination and secured enough delegates the day after Biden’s withdrawal was made public.
The Washington Post indicated that on Saturday Harris dedicated time at her home with legal advisors—including former Attorney General Eric Holder—to thoroughly assess each vice-presidential candidate’s merits?
The ultimate choice remains uncertain at this stage. Speculation has arisen around Governor Shapiro as a likely pick after reports from Politico noted that Harris plans an inaugural rally alongside her running mate in Philadelphia come Tuesday.
