Report reveals 'key' factor that Kamala Harris seeks in running mate

A new report reveals what Vice President Kamala Harris is looking for in a running mate as she takes on the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.

Harris told top advisers she’s wants someone who can “balance the ticket” and is more of a "governing partner" than someone who can energize her campaign, Notus reported Friday evening, citing a person involved in the conversations.

In other words, “someone with executive experience at the highest level," the report said.

Another Democrat told the news outlet that Harris faces the criticism that 's the "'liberal from San Francisco'" and that a running mate who balances out the ticket will be "key." That could mean geographical and ideological.

"A balance to their energy and approach,” the source said.

The report comes after CBS News reported this week that "about a dozen" people were being considered to join her on the ticket — many of them already widely reported, but others not.

Biden's Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg were also in the running, along with Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, among others.
