Kamala Harris will stage her first campaign rally with her as-yet-unnamed presidential running mate in Philadelphia next Tuesday, a decision that did nothing to dampen speculation that Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, is poised to join the Democratic ticket.
Late on Tuesday, the Harris campaign told Politico the first rally featuring the current vice-president and her own pick for VP would take place on 6 August, noting that an unnamed Harris aide “cautioned against reading too much into the first city chosen for the tour”.
