Who do you think Harriss VP pick should be? Take our quiz.

July 26, 2024

Vice President Harris isn’t officially the 2024 Democratic nominee, but all signs point to her locking down the nomination, potentially as early as next week.

Assuming all stays that way, the next big question for Democrats is: Whom will Harris pick as her running mate?

A lot goes into such decisions, and it’s basically up to one person (Harris). But we do have a sense of the contenders, considerations in choosing one of them, and what their various strengths and weaknesses are as candidates.

This is where you come in. Let us know what you think Harris needs, and we’ll tell you who fits the bill. Our list of potential running mates is probably longer than that being considered by the campaign, so we’ve marked the candidates who are potentially being vetted to give a better idea of Harris’s shortlist. The campaign hasn’t disclosed the people they are vetting, but The Washington Post has reported on candidates of interest to major Democratic donors.
