Mark Kelly (D-AZ) From @ABC, @KamalaHarris is meeting with top contenders for VP today at the Naval Observatory in Washington. According to a source, she's meeting with @GovTimWalz @SenMarkKelly and @JoshShapiroPA. @AndyBeshearKY notably missing from that list. — Dewey Jones (@deweyjproducer) August 4, 2024 Per NBC News: Other candidates who have been on the vetting list include Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Former Attorney General Eric Holder, who led the vetting process for Harris’ campaign as part of his role as senior counsel at Covington and Burling LLP, was seen at the vice president’s residence at the Naval Observatory on Saturday and Sunday. Two sources familiar with Harris’ thinking said she needs and wants to find someone who will be comfortable following the lead of a woman and particularly a Black and Indian woman. That running mate will need to be comfortable taking on tasks they may not like (like how Harris took on the root causes of migration) and will need to be comfortable being in Harris’ shadow as her running mate. Harris’ team is aware that she got this nomination in an unconventional way and allies want whoever she chooses to be loyal and not seek to undermine her position now or come 2028. A source familiar with the campaign’s thinking said the campaign is particularly interested in someone who will appeal to demographics and the voters that Biden would have brought to the table including older white voters and suburban women.

Harris, the U.S. vice president, is expected to announce her selection by Tuesday, ahead of her first scheduled public appearance with her running mate that evening at Temple University in Philadelphia. It was unclear if a final decision has been made, the sources said. The rally will kick off a five-day, seven-city tour of battleground states likely to decide the Nov. 5 election. The choice of a running mate is one of the most consequential decisions of Harris’ political career, as she hastily pulls together a campaign to challenge Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and U.S. Senator JD Vance, his vice presidential pick, in the Nov. 5 election. Vance will also make a campaign stop in South Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, admitted to having an affair in his previous marriage in a statement to CNN on Saturday.

On July 2, 2023, a member of the Secret Service discovered a bag of cocaine in the White House. According to a new report from Real Clear Politics, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who was appointed to her position in 2022 partly because of her close relationship with First Lady Jill Biden, wanted to destroy the evidence. When the member of the Secret Service found the evidence, he reportedly wanted to implement a particular crime-scene investigative protocol, but was then removed from the case. “The Secret Service closed its investigation on July 12 after it said it could not identify a suspect,” ABC News reported. The Secret Service released a statement saying: There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area. Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. At this time, the Secret Service’s investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence. At the time the bag was found, President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, who had a history of cocaine abuse, was staying at the White House, Real Clear Politics, which spoke with “three sources in the Secret Service community,” stated. Cheatle had served 27 years in the Secret Service, during which she was on Jill Biden’s detail while Joe Biden was vice-president, before serving three years as senior director of global security at PepsiCo. Biden then appointed her Secret Service chief. Jill Biden’s top aide Anthony Bernal urged Cheatle’s appointment as head of the Secret Service, The New York Post reported, adding that an insider revealed, “Cheatle served on Dr. Biden’s second lady detail and Anthony pushed for her. Anthony has no national security or law enforcement experience. He should have no influence over the selection of the USSS director.” Cheatle resigned last month after she was grilled by Congress following the Secret Service’s failure to stop a would-be assassin before he fired eight shots at former President Donald Trump, hitting him once in his right ear, in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, testified that between 2015 and 2019, “she often searched his vehicle for crack cocaine because he would let their daughters use his car. She said she found drugs or drug paraphernalia at least a dozen times,” Politico reported. In July 2023, former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley propounded, “For them to say they don’t know who this was … don’t tell me there’s no cameras in there. There are absolutely cameras in there. I strongly believe this is a coverup for either Hunter, or someone very close to the president, and they don’t want to say who it is.”
