Harris narrows VP shortlist to 3 men: report

Raw Story  

Vice President Kamala Harris has narrowed her potential list of running mates to three candidates, according to Bloomberg News. "Harris is considering a wide range of vice presidential candidates from the Democratic Party’s bench, though people familiar with the process say a short list has emerged including three elected officials with nationwide appeal: Arizona Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz," Bloomberg reported Saturday. A spokesperson for the Harris campaign responded to Bloomberg that she “directed her team to begin the process of vetting potential running mates” but did not elaborate. As governor, Walz gained national attention for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his response to the civil unrest following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020.
