In today’s edition, we report on how Vice President Kamala Harris’ search for a running mate is nearing the finish line.
In case that wasn’t already clear from the vetting, the interviews and the obsessive media attention, consider the long — and still lengthening — list of ways one selection shaped decades of national politics.
The pick influenced not just Obama’s electoral victories and the Obama administration but also every successive presidential election since then.
And it could keep doing so for years, as Vice President Kamala Harris prepares to make her choice Tuesday.
And Harris’ running mate selection could anoint the Democratic Party’s next presidential favorite, potentially into the 2030s.
