Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly considering several Democrats across the country to be her vice presidential running mate after she announced her campaign on Sunday and effectively locked up the nomination within 24 hours. Harris launched her campaign after President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he was ending his failing reelection campaign. Harris, 59, ran for president in 2020 but was forced out of the Democrats’ primary before any voting happened because voters were not interested in her. Harris’ campaign has reportedly requested vetting materials on several candidates, including North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), according to The Wall Street Journal. Harris’ campaign has requested vetting materials from potential VPs, including Cooper (NC), Kelly (AZ), Shapiro (PA), Whitmer (MI), Walz (MN) + Pritzker (IL), according to a person familiar. Beshear told CNN he hasn’t been asked to submit info at this point. — Ken Thomas (@KThomasDC) July 23, 2024 One name that is being mentioned a lot is Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, a Democrat governor in a red state who won reelection last year. Beshear told CNN that he has not been asked to submit any paperwork to Harris’ campaign and that the only way he would ever consider being someone’s vice presidential pick “is if I felt that I could help my people in Kentucky more in a different role or that there was a chance to move past the partisanship, the constant fighting.” WATCH BEN SHAPIRO’S ‘SCAMALA: KAMALA HARRIS UNMASKED’ ON DAILYWIRE+ Other names that are been mentioned included Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). In the first 24 hours of her campaign, Democrats gave $231 million to elect her, including $81 million through the Democrats’ online fundraising platform ActBlue and $150 million from megadonors to Future Forward, the super PAC that was blessed by Biden that will now back Harris.

"I didn't know she was there. I was lucky enough to just put her in a carrier. She's friendly, a little scared, and very hungry." Fisher was always by Pickle's sideMarleneOne of the young cats, Fisher, was likely Pickle's firstborn, clinging to her as she prepared for labor. He stayed by her side until she gave birth to her last litter of five.Fisher snuggled up to Pickle, watching over her while she tended to her newborns.
