Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is set to hold a rally in Philadelphia next week with her long-awaited running mate, who she is expected to announce by Monday.
On Tuesday, August 6, Harris will hold her first rally with her running mate in Philadelphia during a four-day campaign tour of battleground states. She and her running mate are also scheduled to visit Michigan and Arizona.
The campaign’s decision to hold a rally in Pennsylvania on its first day suggests that Harris’ running mate could be Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who has been mentioned as a top vice presidential candidate in recent weeks.
