Kamala Harris has narrowed her shortlist of Vice President picks to three.
Fortune reports that Kamala Harris has narrowed her shortlist to Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Senator Mark Kelly is reportedly the one Obama believes would be the best VP choice for Harris.
Governor Shapiro has also been noted as a high-possible VP pick for Harris because he is the Governor of Pennsylvania, a must-win swing state for Harris.
