Kamala Harris drops new clue about her V.P. choice

Vice President Kamala Harris has dropped a new clue about whom she'd like to be her own vice president, according to a new report.

Harris, Democrat's presumptive presidential nominee, has been quietly urging Wall Street backers to quickly cut their campaign checks ahead of a notable deadline, Axios reported Wednesday.

"The urgency of the requests has led some donors to conclude that Harris plans to pick a governor," Axios reports. "And not a senator, like Mark Kelly of Arizona — to be her running mate."

The governors on Harris' shortlist include Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has also said he's "probably" being vetted.

Sources told Axios Harris' team has been citing a Securities and Exchange Commission rule regulating donations to state office campaigns as they reach out to donors.

"The restrictions generally apply to certain employees of financial firms — including some banks and asset managers — that do business with a state or a locality," Axios reported Wednesday.

"When a state official, like a governor, is seeking federal office, the rules are applied to the federal race. If Harris picks a governor for her running mate, the campaign expects them to be triggered."

A campaign spokesperson told Axios Harris has not yet chosen a running mate.

"Any reporting on developments or updates in Vice President Harris' running mate search are premature and speculative," the spokesman reportedly said.

The final decision is expected to come by Aug. 6 when Harris launches a battleground tour.
