The potential candidates vying to join Vice President Kamala Harris on the Democratic ticket have been thrust into a selection process under a compressed timeline — accelerating various factions’ push for their preferred pick.

Already, members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation are pushing their state’s governor, Roy Cooper. Pennsylvanians are championing Gov. Josh Shapiro, who won election two years ago by an almost 15-point margin in the crucial swing state. Some Senate Democrats have strong praise for their colleague Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona.

    WHY are all these 'articles' still mentioning Whitmer? She has said she's not going anywhere. IE: Not leaving Mich. and her position.
  • @fantasyfox965
    I like Mark Kelly. Someone who has military experience and knowledge of how the Space program works.
  • @EJBert
    Probably some popular guy from a swing state would be my guess!
  • @crispinfornoff206
    Weird how democrats are just okay with not getting to choose their candidate.

    Robert De Niro VPOTUS , Woopi Golberg SCOTUS y Cher BOTOX
  • @MattieScarlett-rt9sm
    I hope she picks Mark Kelly. She is criticized for the border. Picking him could help that!
  • @leerubin4303
    If she goes for AZ, I will guarantee that Kerry Lake will be running on the other side.
  • @user-ug1ms4hp8o
    No one wants to be her vice president because they know they're going to get beat

    Kelly's vote is needed in the Senate. Whitmer has already said No. The logical pick should be Cooper. His 2 terms as a Dem gov in a red state ends in January. He and Harris have a long history of working together over the decades. Brashear is needed in KY. - he just got re-elected. News Flash: Dems have served more terms in KY than GOP governors, even though it's a red state.

    I don’t see Katie Porter or Pete on the list two great choices 😮
