Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro -- who is reported to have met with Harris' vetting team as he remains on the shortlist of her vice presidential options -- has canceled the fundraisers he had planned in the Hamptons this weekend, ABC News has confirmed.

It's unclear now what his weekend schedule entails.

"The Governor's trip was planned several weeks ago and included several fundraisers for his own campaign committee. His schedule has changed and he is no longer traveling to the Hamptons this weekend," Shapiro Spokesman Manuel Bonder told ABC News.

Harris' vetting team met with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly -- two vice presidential hopefuls, according to sources familiar. The vetting team has met with other candidates as well, the sources added.

As meetings continue, the pool of vice presidential candidates has narrowed from a dozen, sources said.

Harris only has days to make a decision on her running mate. This process that normally takes months has been truncated and her team is doing it in weeks.

Harris is set to begin a tour of battleground states with her running mate on Tuesday.

Vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance visited the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona Thursday morning. During his visit, Vance addressed the press, blaming Vice President Kamala Harris for what he claimed was a failure of the southern border.

"They started their administration, Kamala Harris came into office making promises, and she kept those promises, to open the American southern border," Vance said. "They stopped deportations on Day 1, they stopped construction of the border wall on Day 1, we see the border wall sitting here ready to be completed behind us, and that can't happen because of Kamala Harris' administration."

Vance has said that in a Trump-Vance administration, he would want to be influential in border policy. The border and immigration are a major issue for voters this election.

Vance and Trump have sought to attack Harris over her handling of the border -- something President Joe Biden assigned her to oversee as vice president.

Vance often connects the border to the issue of drug trafficking and the fentanyl crisis, and he did it during his remarks Thursday.

"And the unfortunate truth is, because of the poison that Kamala Harris has let come into this country, there are a lot of those prayers that won't be answered," Vance said. "There are a lot of parents that won't wake up because when you take fentanyl, you don't wake up, it takes your life."

But that is not true. The majority of fentanyl smuggled into the U.S. is through ports of entry, not through migrants.

Vance said the U.S. must implement "common sense policies" at the border.

"You've got to reimplement remain in Mexico. You've got to stop catch and release. You've got to force the asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while their claims are being adjudicated. And you've got to finish this border wall and reimplement deportations," he said.
