Pressure is building for Vice President Kamala Harris to pick a running mate as she stares down a tight deadline to clinch a win this November.
A new report from NOTUS has indicated she is looking for somebody with executive experience “at the highest level” and someone who can help balance the ticket. As President Joe Biden’s number two, Harris has faced criticism that she lacks the portfolio to lead the country. Harris could bolster her standing with voters by selecting a running mate with extensive experience. The presumed Democratic nominee could very well pick a governor, who operates as an executive at the state level, as her veep.
However, A winning campaign takes money. With just 101 days left to campaign until the election, Harris could use every dollar to her advantage. NOTUS claims Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is the favorite of the donor class while multibillionaire Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker could also be a monetary asset. A top surrogate when Biden headed the Democratic ticket, Pritzker is worth roughly $3.5 billion.
