PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Philadelphia with her running mate on Tuesday for a campaign event, a campaign spokesperson said.
Harris has not yet announced her running mate, but a decision is expected by Monday. CBS News has learned.
Harris will interview potential vice presidential candidates this week. While there are still about a dozen candidates to consider, a group of five has emerged, CBS News reports. They are Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Shapiro campaigned for Harris in Pennsylvania, including gathering in Ambler with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Monday.
Tuesday, he declined to answer directly when asked if he wanted the job.
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The vice president has a very personal decision to make right now: who she wants to run with, who she wants to govern with, and who can be at her side when she has to make the toughest decisions for the American people,” Shapiro said. “I’m confident she’ll make that decision on her own terms, when she’s ready.”
Whitmer and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper They said this week that they were not being considered for the running mate role.
