Which VP Finalist Should Harris Pick?

This will be Harris’ first big decision as the de facto nominee, and it will give us some idea of how sound her judgment is.

Vice President Kamala Harris is nearing a decision on selecting her own running mate this week. Harris has been meeting with Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, and Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona before making her final selection. This will be Harris’ first big decision as the de facto nominee, and it will give us some idea of how sound her judgment is. If the first rule of selecting a running mate is to do no harm, it seems clear that Harris should not choose Shapiro.
