While the vetting process is just getting started, a senior administration official told ABC News’ Martha Raddatz that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly are the leading candidates to be Harris’ running mate.
The two men come from key 2024 battleground states, and have experience trouncing Trump-endorsed candidates.
Shapiro, 51, was Pennsylvania’s attorney general before being elected governor in 2022 after defeating Republican Doug Mastriano.
Kelly, a 60-year-old former astronaut and Navy captain who is married to former congresswoman Gabby Giffords, won his Senate seat in 2022. He defeated Republican challenger Blake Masters.
