The latest on the race for the White House Overnight,
Vice President Kamala Harris officially secured the Democratic nomination,
set to announce her running mate this morning ahead of
a campaign blitz in battleground states.
It will begin in Philadelphia.
Senior White House correspondent Selena Wang is on the scene.
Good morning, Selena.
Good morning, George. Any moment now,
Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to announce her new
running mate,
capping off a wild 16 days since President Biden dropped
out of this race.
Now it is a brand new Democratic ticket.
This morning, Vice President Harris gearing up to announce her
new running mate.
Sources tell ABC News Harris is preparing for her biggest
rally yet with more than 10,000 supporters expected tonight in
Philadelphia.
She'll introduce her VP pick to the country there before
launching a blitz through battleground states.
The vice president huddled behind closed doors yesterday,
narrowing her list to likely one of these three candidates.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who hosted a fundraising for Harris
overnight and is a retired school teacher in six term
congressman.
Afternoon everybody, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly,
the retired astronaut married to shooting survivor Gabby Giffords and
1st her governor Josh Shapiro of the must win state
of Pennsylvania.
Hi Governor, anything on the beep sticks yet?
I got nothing for you man.
While factions of the Democratic Party have been pushing Harris
to choose their favorite candidate,
the vice president keeping her deliberations under lock and key.
In a new interview. Donald Trump saying any of Harris's
possible VP picks.
Be a better president than she would.
I think virtually everyone of them is considered better.
Smarter would be a better president than her.
But we can't allow her to be president.
She's going to destroy our country.
Trump is not visiting any battleground states this week.
Instead, he's sending JD Vance to chase after Vice President
Harris,
holding rallies on the same day as her in every
state that she's visiting,
starting today with Pennsylvania. Robin.
All right, Selena, always appreciate your reporting.
