Kamala Harris to hold first joint rally with yet-to-be-announced running mate in Philly on Tuesday

After the announcement and the Philly campaign stop, the Kamala campaign is expected to "the barnstorm cities in seven swing states in four days," per Politico. Those states include Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada, making a point to hit the big, blue cities in those locales. The campaign clearly believes they have a better chance in many of the swing states, which were leaning Trump when Biden sat at the top of the ticket, now that Harris has taken over.

Among those who have been on the Harris ticket's short list have been Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Pennsylvania is a key state for Democrats, and Philadelphia is the state's biggest, most leftist city. Others who had been rumored to be in consideration, such as Gretchen Whitmer, have already signaled that they will not be the Democrat running mate. Arizona's Mark Kelly and transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg have also been considered to be contenders. Buttigieg is already a vocal spokesperson for the campaign.

Harris has said she's not yet chosen a running mate, someone to fill her VP shoes. On Tuesday, when asked by reporters if she knew who she would choose, she said "not yet." Minnesota Governor Tim Walz along with Kentucky's Governor Andy Beshear are also reportedly under consideration. Shapiro said that he's not heard from Harris since the day Biden left the race and handed it off to Harris, on July 21. Shapiro has been vocal in his support for the former California senator.

Harris held a campaign rally in Atlanta on Tuesday night where Megan Thee Stallion played a concert. Attendees began leaving after the concert, leading to speculation that the woman they had gathered to see was not Harris, but the rap star with the viral hits.
