VP vetting process has begun: Shapiro, Cooper, Kelly, Beshear asked to submit materials
The vetting of potential running mates for Harris has already begun, according to a source briefed on the process.
"The horse has left the barn," the source said.
The campaign does not see Aug. 7 as a deadline -- a date that marks the end of the planned virtual roll call, according to the source. The vice presidential pick is unlikely to be finalized by then.
The source said these four individuals have all been asked to submit materials: Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly; Govs. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania; Roy Cooper of North Carolina and Andy Beshear of Kentucky.
But that list is "not exhaustive" -- in other words, there may be another name or two, the source added.
