Washington: US Vice-President and Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris is meeting three finalists for her running mate for a chemistry test on Sunday, taking the search into the final stage.
She is scheduled to announce her pick at a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Harris is expected to use these one-on-one meetings to test personal chemistry between her and her pick, who, if the ticket wins, will be her deputy for four years and another four years, if they are re-elected.
The other key qualification is governance – whether they will be ready to step in for her when needed. The finalists are the Governors of Minnesota and Pennsylvania, Tim Walz and Josh Shapiro, respectively, and Senator Mark Kelly.
It was not immediately clear if invitations had gone out to others in the fray – Kentucky and Illinois Governors, Andy Beshear and J.B. Pritzker, respectively, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Roy Cooper, the Governor of North Carolina, took himself out of the race last month.
