Vice President Kamala Harris interviewed top three vice-presidential contenders: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
The process has increased voter enthusiasm and sparked widespread conversations about the potential running mate.
Despite the excitement around the selection, historical evidence suggests that the Vice Presidential pick does not significantly impact the final voting decision in presidential elections.
Mark Kelly is considered the most recognizable and popular among the candidates, potentially due to his representation of Arizona and his high profile.
The selection aims to complement Harris’s candidacy by appealing to different demographics and presenting a moderate option to voters.
Experts argue that while the Vice Presidential choice can influence the administration’s direction, it rarely affects voters’ decisions unless the pick is particularly unpopular.
The announcement of Harris’s running mate is anticipated to be made by Tuesday, according to US media reports.
