Harris Set to Announce Running Mate Amid Intense Lobbying

The campaign to be Kamala Harris’s running mate is in its final hours, entering a contentious phase that has sown divisions within the party. Donors, interest groups, and political rivals are fervently lobbying for their preferred candidates.

Three top contenders—Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, and Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota—met with the vice president in Washington on Sunday. Following the announcement of her pick, Harris plans to hold her first rally with the new running mate in Philadelphia today.
