Vice President Kamala Harris (D) is expected to announce her choice for running mate in the 2024 Presidential election Monday to face former president and Republican nominee Donald Trump and his running mate Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.

The rally will be held at Temple University’s Liacouras Center in North Philadelphia with a time as yet to be announced.
Shapiro canceled weekend plans as did some of the others on Harris’ short list, AP News reported.

“The campaign wants the Trump team on its toes and leaning” was the opinion of the state source,
