USA, Harris must choose the vice. Decisive meetings, but there is a name in pole position –

Kamala Harris is approaching the moment to choose her presidential running mate, and decisive meetings are scheduled for today, first and foremost with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, on whom she is particularly focusing her attention, according to sources close to the selection process cited by CNN. But today the vice president also has meetings scheduled with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, to assess whether they could help her win key states. Harris is weighing her decision with the help of her husband, Doug Emhoff, and a small circle of confidants. Former Attorney General Eric Holder and Harris’ brother-in-law, Tony West, have been among her key advisers throughout the process. West was one of Holder’s top aides at the Justice Department during the Obama administration.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is also still being considered, according to people familiar with the decision-making process. Harris, the sources cited by CNN said, does not intend to make her final decision known too far in advance of her rally Tuesday night with her running mate in Philadelphia.
