Kamala Harris Has Limited Time to Select VP Candidate


Vice President Kamala Harris faces a tight deadline to select and announce her running mate for the upcoming presidential election. Democrats have set an Aug. 7 deadline to finalize their ticket to avoid potential legal issues in Ohio. If she misses this deadline, she risks losing her spot on the ballot in the state. The selection process may need to be expedited, with only two weeks left to vet, meet with, choose, and announce a running mate.

Harris already has a lot of support within the Democratic Party, as many see her as a strong candidate to take over after President Joe Biden withdrew from the re-election bid and endorsed her. There is a push for unity behind Harris before the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19.

Republicans in Ohio initially delayed amending the Aug. 7 deadline for submitting nominees, causing potential ballot access problems for Democrats. Although a fix was eventually passed, Democrats do not trust the Republican election officials in Ohio. Conservative groups are actively seeking to bring election litigation to challenge Democrats ahead of the election.

Harris may have until Aug. 7 to announce her running mate, according to a draft rule for the virtual roll call vote at the convention. However, many Democrats hope she will make her decision earlier so that delegates can know the full ticket when they vote. Delegates will later hold an in-person vote at the convention to confirm the Vice Presidential nominee.
