Vice President Kamala Harris has initiated the vetting process for selecting her running mate as she embarks on her presidential candidacy. With a compressed timeline following President Joe Biden's decision to step aside, Harris faces a crucial decision before the upcoming Democratic National Convention next month.
Harris aims to maintain a drama-free selection process as she and the Democratic Party seek to project confidence amidst recent party turmoil. While speculation has focused on several potential candidates, Harris's team has reached out to approximately a dozen officials for information, including individuals such as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
