By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
“The Sunday shows were eager to read the tea leaves, no matter how sparse, as Vice President Kamala Harris races toward selecting her running mate this week. But they didn’t get much help from their scheduled guests, none of whom were Democrats connected to the likely choices,” Politico reports.
“Harris has roughly just 48 hours to go until taking the stage with her pick at a rally in Philadelphia before embarking on a rapid-fire tour of six other swing states: Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina and Georgia.”
CNN: Harris’ whirlwind search for running mate enters final hours as she prepares to take new Democratic ticket on the road.
