Kamala Harris is preparing to nominate her running mate for the upcoming presidential election, a decision that could significantly impact swing states.

Harris recently met with three top contenders for the VP position: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

The Philadelphia rally marks the start of a five-day campaign tour across seven pivotal states ahead of the elections on November 5.

Campaign officials are aware that maintaining election momentum is crucial and are working to harness current enthusiasm while managing expectations against Republican nominee Donald Trump.

The campaign's rapid progression follows President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the reelection race after facing pressure and poor debate performance.

Trump's campaign has highlighted the disparity in campaign activities, asserting that he has visited more battleground states than Harris.

Trump has faced backlash for focusing on Harris's racial identity rather than her political record, with personal attacks questioning her representation.

Republicans, including Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, are under scrutiny for prioritizing their political survival over addressing Trump's perceived threat to democracy.

Concerns about Trump's age are growing, as he would be older than Biden was when he took office, potentially affecting his appeal to voters.

The upcoming TV debate between Trump and Harris is expected to add pressure to the Republican campaign as both candidates prepare for the national stage.

False claims regarding Harris's intentions to reduce the US population have emerged, stemming from a misstatement during a speech on climate change.

There are ongoing concerns about how closely Harris will align with her 2020 campaign positions, given the previous loss of momentum that led to her withdrawal.
