She is set to meet with Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Governors Josh Shapiro (D-PA) and Tim Walz (D-MN) at her vice presidential residence located at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., according to various reports. While these three leaders seem to be the final contenders, it remains unclear if other individuals, such as Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY), are still under consideration after reportedly speaking with Harris. The Sunday meetings are being referred to as a &#8220;chemistry test,&#8221; according to the New York Times, since Harris plans to campaign alongside her chosen running mate this week in several crucial swing states. All three candidates have garnered substantial support from their backers; however, a post by Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker on Friday raised questions about who might be leading in the selection process. The post seemed to indicate that Shapiro could be chosen as Harris&#8217;s running mate, although some interpreted it as an effort to promote his candidacy for that position. Harris has until the Democratic National Convention in Chicago from August 19-22 to finalize her choice for a running mate while she appears poised to secure the party&#8217;s official nomination before then. Together with her yet-to-be-announced partner, she will focus on battleground states including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina during their campaign blitz starting with a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2638,"featured_media":2319099,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/kamala-harris-north-carolina.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4021,32603,37157,37156,32076],"class_list":["post-2319098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-harris","tag-political-news","tag-solo-meetings","tag-vp-front-runners","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/kamala-harris-north-carolina.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2319098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2638"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2319098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2319098\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2319099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2319098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2319098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2319098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
