CNN —Kamala Harris’ plan as a running mate was to brush past JD Vance as nothing but a rubber stamp for Donald Trump.
Vance’s elevation — despite his relative lack of government experience — is giving Harris a new opportunity to go after Trump.
Several people hoping to get picked as Harris’ ticket mate echoed that message as they angle for the job.
Harris, 59, has the unique experience of leading a selection process only four years after going through it herself.
“We’re in a position where somebody has done the job of vice president,” a Harris adviser told CNN.
