It will be in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Vice President Kamala Harris begins a tour of several key statesaccompanied by her vice-presidential candidate.
Although it has not been confirmed by the campaign, the start of the tour in Pennsylvania adds to suspicions that the governor of that state, Josh Shapiro, could be named as the vice president’s running mate.
However, there is nothing official and the weekend, The Democratic presidential nominee met with Shapiro and other contendersincluding Senator Mark Kelly (Arizona), Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
It is also unclear whether Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been completely removed from the list.
The tour begins on Tuesday night, where Vice President Harris’ running mate will be introduced, whose official candidacy could be confirmed on Monday afternoon, after obtaining the necessary votes on Friday, although the virtual voting of the delegates concludes on Monday.
Vice President Harris’ campaign said she and her running mate will take time to meet with voters in the states they visit, “in smaller, more intimate settings, including union halls, family-owned restaurants, campaign offices,” among other spaces.
The five-day tour includes Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Detroit, Michigan; Durham, North Carolina; Savannah, Georgia; Phoenix, Arizona; and Las Vegas, Nevada.
“These stops will highlight the ticket’s strength across the Blue Wall and Sun Belt, from urban areas to rural communities. In each city, local elected officials, union members, faith leaders and more will join them,” it said.
The messages of the Democratic electoral formula will seek to mark a contrast to Republican opponents former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vancevice-presidential candidate.
“Donald Trump and JD Vance threaten the rights and freedoms of Americans, would hurt the middle class, and increase costs for families,” the campaign states. “Vice President Harris is fighting for a future that strengthens our democracy, protects reproductive freedom, and ensures that all people have the opportunity to not only survive, but thrive.”
Democratic split
Democrats are divided over who should be Vice President Harris’ running mate, but Shapiro has raised concerns about his “personal ambitions,” as Sen. John Fetterman, also of Pennsylvania, put it.
Walz, however, has garnered more support, including from Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vermont) and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (California), who highlight her work as a representative and her closeness to the working class.
Even the leader of the powerful auto union (UAW), Shawn Fain, has told Channel 7 News in Detroit that he prefers Walz over Shapiro.
