Vice President Kamala Harris is set to announce her vice presidential pick as early as Monday, according to two sources familiar with the planning.

This decision comes ahead of Harris's multi-state battleground tour next week.

The announcement follows President Joe Biden's recent decision to end his White House bid, positioning Harris as the Democratic frontrunner for the November 5 election.

Potential candidates include Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, U.S. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.

Governors Roy Cooper of North Carolina and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan are no longer in consideration.

Eric Holder Jr., former attorney general, is leading the vetting process through his law firm.

The Democratic National Committee has set an August 7 deadline for the announcement, though it may come sooner.

Harris has a compressed timeline to choose her running mate, and candidates are actively campaigning and auditioning for the role.
