EAU CLARE, Wis. – Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Eau Claire on Wednesday on her latest Battleground States tour for the presidency. The visit was confirmed by William Garcia, the Wisconsin state Democratic chair. Garcia said he was not at liberty for security reasons to disclose the venue. He confirmed, however, that Harris would be with her yet-to-announced running mate for vice president. Garcia also said the visit will be in a window from 12 noon to 6 p.m.
Vice presidential speculation
Harris’ decision to kick off this week’s tour in Philadelphia ignited speculation that she has settled on Josh Shapiro, governor of the swing state Pennsylvania, as her running mate. The announcement is due Monday – the day ahead of her Philadelphia rally. It is known that Shapiro is among finalists who have emerged from a vetting process. It’s believed, he has been among those interviewed by Harris. The choice of Shapiro could help deliver Pennsylvania’s important 19 electoral votes in the November election
Her week ahead
The Harris campaign week begins Tuesday in Philadelphia, where she is expected to announce her choice for vice president. Other rallies as the week progresses: Detroit, Raleigh, Savannah, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
