Election 2024 updates: Harris interviewing top VP contenders Sunday, source says
Harris is expected to announce her running mate in the coming days.
Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough Democratic Party delegate votes to become the party's nominee when voting ends on Monday, according to the Democratic National Committee. And Harris is just days away from naming her running mate.
Former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance, have spoken to voters across the country this past week as they sharpen their attacks on Harris.

Pete Buttigieg also cancels item on schedule
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has cancelled an item on his upcoming schedule amid reports he may be in the running to be Kamala Harris' vice president.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro -- also among the VP hopefuls -- canceled fundraisers he had planned for the weekend.
Buttigieg, who has been traversing the Midwest this week in his official capacity, is scheduled to on Friday tour Ivy Tech Community College in Kokomo, Indiana. After remarks, the secretary will have a media availability.
"Secretary Buttigieg is here in Kokomo in his official capacity as Transportation Secretary. Federal law prohibits him from speaking about campaigns and elections," his team wrote in email guidance.
He was slated to hold a roundtable discussion afterwards, which his team now says will no longer happen.
"I’m sorry to share that we will no longer be hosting the roadway safety roundtable due to some unforeseen scheduling constraints," the guidance reads.
