Election 2024 live updates: Harris closes in on running mate pick
Vice President Kamala Harris, grappling with how to keep early 2024 Presidential election momentum alive, is also preparing for a crucial week that includes her most critical decision yet: choosing a running mate.
Here’s what to know:
- Trump in Georgia: Over the weekend, Donald Trump picked a newfight with Georgia’s Republican governor as he campaigned in the key swing state where he’s looking to avenge his narrow 2020 loss.
- Harris’s VP pick: The likely Democratic nominee effectively has a deadline of Tuesday to select who will be her running mate. Her list has been whittled down to six contenders, AP sources say.
- Debate plan in flux: Last week, Trump said he is pulling out of a scheduled September debate with Harris on ABC and wants them to face off on Fox News.
