In the lead-up to the next US presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris is already thinking ahead to potential running mates, according to specialist Sean Stafford from Science Po’s Centre for the Sociology of Organisation. Harris is reportedly considering choosing a running mate from swing states in order to increase her chances of winning the Democratic party’s nomination.
Stafford suggests that Harris may look to pick someone from a “purple” state, such as Michigan or Pennsylvania, or a democratic governor from a traditionally red state who has successfully appealed to the middle group of voters. Some names that have been mentioned as potential running mates for Harris include Governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro, Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear, and Governor of North Carolina Roy Cooper.
With the upcoming election likely to be decided by swing states and independent voters, Harris is looking to make a strategic choice in her vice presidential candidate. By selecting someone who can appeal to a wide range of voters and help secure key swing states, Harris hopes to strengthen her position as a potential nominee for the Democratic party.
As the election season heats up, all eyes will be on Harris and her potential running mate as they work to build a winning campaign strategy. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
