The race is on for Kamala Harris to choose her running mate ahead of the US Democratic National Convention next month.
The race to be Kamala Harris’s running mate in the US presidential election is now on.
The vice president is currently in pole position to replace President Joe Biden as the Democrats’ presidential nominee after he dropped out of the race, securing a wave of endorsements from her party and breaking fundraising records.
As she consolidates her lead position, vowing to take the fight to Republican nominee Donald Trump in a feisty speech in Milwaukee on Tuesday, attention is swiftly turning to who she might pick as running mate.
Harris will have to move fast, making the crucial decision before the Democratic National Convention next month in Chicago, where the party’s nominee for the presidential ticket will be formally decided.
She has hired former attorney general Eric Holder to lead a vetting team that has already identified suitable candidates who could complement her bid, scrutinising everything from their family histories to their finances.
