Washington: US Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to announce her vice presidential running mate as early as Monday (August 5) next week and will hold her first rally with her pick in Philadelphia, according to sources. The location of her first rally suggests that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is primed to take the crucial spot as the Democrats seek to retain the state it had wrested from the Republicans in 2020.
A campaign aide told Reuters on Tuesday that the tour next week will take four days and cover multiple states. The high-stakes decision on who will run with Harris has taken centre stage since she became the Democratic frontrunner for the November 5 election when US President Joe Biden ended his White House bid just over a week ago. Harris is likely to announce her decision on Monday, a day before the event begins, as she prepares to take on Republican rival and former President Donald Trump.
