WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign has requested vetting materials from five possible running mates, according to two sources familiar with the effort to review the backgrounds of those being considered. The five Democratic vice presidential contenders are North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper,; Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro; Sen. Mark Kelly, of Arizona; Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Eric Holder, who was the attorney general in the Obama administration, has been tasked with leading the vetting process for Harris' potential running mates, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Holder and the law firm where he is a senior counsel, Covington & Burling LLP, will oversee the operation, which is taking place on a more compressed timeline compared to other election cycles given President Joe Biden’s late decision to exit the 2024 race.
