Running Mate to Be Named by Kamala Harris Today

As she gets ready for a tour of US battleground states intended to convert enthusiasm surrounding her presidential bid into long-term support that will propel her to victory, Kamala Harris will announce her running mate as early as Monday.

All routes to the White House pass via a few swing states, according to an NDTV World article. Harris will begin her five-day campaign on Tuesday in Pennsylvania, the largest of these states, to gain momentum for her November 5 matchup with Republican Donald Trump.

We currently have to choose between two visions for our country: one that is centered on the past and the other on the future. “This campaign is about people uniting to fight for the best aspects of who we are, motivated by love of country,” she wrote on X.

The nation’s first Black female vice president will be in complete control of her party going into the national convention in Chicago in two weeks after garnering enough delegates’ votes to win the Democratic nomination.

The 59-year-old career prosecutor has destroyed funding records, drawn sizable audiences, and controlled social media in just two weeks of campaigning. She has also erased the polling leads Trump had accumulated prior to President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race.

The vice presidential candidate will be announced at any time before her rally on Tuesday night in Philadelphia, the capital of Pennsylvania, with the unidentified nominee.

Among the hotly contested states that determine the Electoral College, the Keystone State is the most valuable real estate.

Together with Michigan and Wisconsin, two states where Harris is scheduled to address large crowds on Wednesday, it is a component of the “blue wall” that propelled Biden to the White House in 2020.

The 51-year-old Democrat Josh Shapiro, who is leading the “veepstakes” field that also includes US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, and fellow state governors Tim Walz and Andy Beshear, is the governor of Pennsylvania.

“Liberty”
In an effort to win back the Black and Hispanic votes that the Democrats had been losing, Harris will go through the Sun Belt and the southern states of Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina later this week.

A month ago, Trump was in full control of the race. He had established a sizable lead in swing state polls following Biden’s lackluster debate performance, and the Republican billionaire was holding the nation in suspense regarding his own choice for vice president.

On July 21, 81-year-old Joe Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed Harris, upending Trump’s presidential bid due to mounting worries about his advanced age and declining polling.

The vice president, who is vibrant and twenty years younger than the 78-year-old Trump, has gotten off to a quick start. According to her campaign, she raised $310 million in July, more than twice as much as Trump did.

While Biden made noble pleas for the maintenance of democracy and a return to civility, Harris put the needs of the future first, making the hard-won “freedom” of the electorate the cornerstone of her campaign.

She and her supporters have also been more outspoken than the Biden team, calling Trump an old thief and “weird” and making fun of him for canceling the debate scheduled for September 10.

Although Harris has renounced some of the socialist stances she had during her disastrous 2020 primary campaign, she hasn’t given a comprehensive interview since entering the race, and supporters will be looking for more information about her policies for the nation.
