We’re Rushing to Vet a VP, Harris Tells Top Dem Donors
The Democratic presidential nominee in waiting, Kamala Harris, has assured major donors that her team is urgently vetting potential running mates, a key campaign surrogate tells the Daily Beast.
Harris told roughly 400 members of her campaign’s finance team in a video call Friday that she felt “very honored” to have former attorney general Eric Holder and his law firm handling the high-stakes vetting process, which will determine who is best suited—and least compromised—to join her on the ticket.
“This will be vetting on steroids,” Chip Forrester, co-chair of the Southern Finance Committee of the Harris presidential campaign, who participated in Friday’s call, told the Daily Beast.
