Following Kamala Harris’ potential candidacy for president, attention has turned to her possible running mate. Democratic operatives are considering at least six governors, lawmakers, and cabinet officials. Key names include governors Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan), Josh Shapiro (Pennsylvania), and Roy Cooper (North Carolina), along with Gavin Newsom (California), JD Pritzker (Illinois), Andy Beshear (Kentucky), and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Arizona Senator Mark Kelly is also a notable contender. Speculative suggestions like Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey are deemed unlikely.
