Does Anyone Want to Be Kamala’s Vice President?

Politico reported that Vice President Kamala Harris will announce her running mate by Tuesday, August 6. She will hold a rally in Philadelphia with her pick, kicking off a tour in seven swing states. The tour includes stops in Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada. This marks her first major campaign swing since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden’s sudden departure. The first stop in Philadelphia has led to speculation that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro might be her pick.

Politico reported:

If Harris chooses Shapiro as her running mate, Philadelphia would make an obvious place to roll out the news, given that he hails from the area’s suburbs. But it’s also a diverse, vote-rich city that every presidential nominee must tend to thanks to the state’s 19 electoral votes, and it’s possible Harris’ plans don’t signal anything beyond that.

A Harris campaign aide cautioned against reading too much into the first city chosen for the tour.

Harris said a decision about her No. 2 spot on ticket has not been finalized. Asked by reporters on Tuesday if she has selected her running mate, she said “not yet.”

Rumored vice president contenders include Mark Kelly, Tim Walz, Andy Beshear, and Pete Buttigieg. However, many on the short list have taken themselves out of the running or made plans to be elsewhere that night.

The question is: are they more afraid of losing or of winning?
