She plans to announce her choice no later than Tuesday. Harris’ team announced that she and her running mate will then embark on a five-day trip through the seven battleground states expected to decide November\u2019s election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harris and her vice presidential pick will start Tuesday night in Philadelphia before traveling to Wisconsin and Michigan on Wednesday, North Carolina and Georgia on Thursday, Arizona on Friday, and Nevada on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harris and her running mate will meet with voters in smaller settings like restaurants and union halls, the campaign said. They will be joined at each stop by local officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThis swing will allow the Vice President and her running mate to speak directly with voters in their communities and cement the contrast between our ticket and Trump\u2019s,\u201d the campaign said. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Harris last week earned enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee, setting up a likely matchup in November against former President Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harris spent the weekend interviewing prospective running mates, including Pennsylvania Gov.\u00a0Josh Shapiro\u00a0(D), Minnesota Gov.\u00a0Tim Walz\u00a0(D), Sen.\u00a0Mark Kelly\u00a0(D-Ariz.), Kentucky Gov.\u00a0Andy Beshear\u00a0(D) and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speculation is building around Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro after the mayor of Philadelphia published a video referring to Gov. Shapiro as “vice president.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Friday, Mayor Cherelle Parker\u00a0posted\u00a0a video on her personal social media accounts encouraging Pennsylvanians to stand behind \u201cKamala Harris\u00a0for president\u201d and \u201cJosh Shapiro for vice president\u201d, days before the presumptive Democratic nominee is expected to make her official announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t think of a better partner than our governor, Josh Shapiro,\u201d Parker said, in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
