Kamala Harris Set to Announce VP Pick Amid Campaign Surge

Kamala Harris is expected to reveal her vice presidential choice as early as Monday. She will then begin a multi-state tour with her new running mate. This decision is critical as she has become the Democratic frontrunner after President Biden ended his campaign for the November election.

July 30 (Reuters) - Kamala Harris is poised to announce her choice for vice president as soon as Monday, following which she will kick off a multi-state battleground tour with her selected running mate, according to two sources close to the planning on Tuesday.

The decision, deemed pivotal, places Vice President Harris at the forefront since she emerged as the Democratic frontrunner for the upcoming November 5 election. Her announcement follows U.S. President Joe Biden's withdrawal from his White House bid just over a week ago.

The selection and subsequent campaign efforts will significantly influence the party's strategy and voter base as the election day approaches. (Reporting By Jarrett Renshaw and Nandita Bose)
