WASHINGTON -- Vice President Kamala Harris' team says she is interviewing six possible running mates over the weekend before an announcement expected Monday. The next day, she and her running mate will appear together at a rally in Philadelphia, then visit six more swing states.
Harris is said to be considering Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Walz changed his weekend travel plans, but his office didn't answer a question Saturday about whether it was for an interview with Harris. "The governor's schedule has changed, and he is no longer traveling to New Hampshire this weekend," Walz spokesperson Teddy Tschann said.
Some congressional Democrats have promoted Kelly, a former Navy pilot and astronaut whose state has more than 370 miles of border with Mexico.
