(WASHINGTON) — Vice President Kamala Harris has secured enough Democratic Party delegate votes to become the party’s nominee when voting ends on Monday, according to the Democratic National Committee. And Harris is close to naming her running mate.<\/p>\n

Former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance, have spoken to voters across the country this past week as they sharpen their attacks on Harris.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the news is developing:<\/em><\/p>\n

Harris VP pick \u2018most important\u2019 decision, Pelosi says<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vice President Kamala Harris’ choice for her running mate is a the “most important” decision she has to make as her campaign gets started, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.<\/p>\n

All of her choices appear to be good, Pelosi added.<\/p>\n

“It’s a difficult decision because they are all so great,” she told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America <\/em>on Monday. “It is the most important decision for her to make. Not just about who can help win, but who can help serve and lead and whose confidence she trusts.”<\/p>\n

Harris and to-be-announced running mate to launch seven-state tour Tuesday<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, who is yet to be named, will go on tour, hitting seven battleground states in five days, the Harris campaign said Monday.<\/p>\n

The tour will be an effort to “introduce the new Democratic ticket” and “speak directly with voters in their communities and cement the contrast between our ticket and Trump\u2019s,\u201d campaign said.<\/p>\n

The tour, which kicks off Tuesday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will feature rallies in cities and stops at college campuses, including HBCUs, union halls, family-owned restaurants and their field offices, the campaign said.<\/p>\n

The tour will continue through Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Detroit, Michigan; Durham, North Carolina; Savannah, Georgia; Phoenix, Arizona; and Las Vegas, Nevada, the campaign said.<\/p>\n

Harris interviewing top VP contenders today at her residence: Source<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vice President Harris is meeting with top running mate candidates Sunday at her residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., according to a source familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

Harris is meeting with at least three leading contenders — Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, according to the source.<\/p>\n

The meetings were earlier reported by The New York Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Sen. JD Vance says he wears VP pick criticism as a ‘badge of honor’<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a Fox News interview Sunday, Sen. JD Vance responded to criticism of him being picked as former President Donald Trump\u2019s running mate, saying he takes it as a “badge of honor.”<\/p>\n

“All I can do is go out there and prosecute the case against Kamala Harris to remind people that things were more prosperous and more peaceful when Donald Trump was president,” Vance said. “Look, I recognize there are a lot of folks even in the GOP establishment and certainly on the far left who don’t like the fact that Donald Trump picked me, I actually take their criticism as a badge of honor.”<\/p>\n

Vance also hit back at Democrats who\u2019ve called him “weird,” calling it “a lot of projection.”<\/p>\n

“They can call me whatever they want to. The middle school taunts don’t bother me,” he said. “What offends me is what Kamala Harris has done to this country over three and a half years.”<\/p>\n

Harris campaign launches ‘Republicans for Harris’ outreach program<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign announced Sunday that it would be launching a “Republicans for Harris” program aimed at reaching Republican voters who could be convinced to vote for Harris. The program will include digital advertising, phone banking, events and other initiatives, according to the campaign.<\/p>\n

The program — and Harris herself — have been endorsed by a number of Republican figures, including former Trump White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham.<\/p>\n

“I might not agree with Vice President Kamala Harris on everything, but I know that she will fight for our freedom, protect our democracy, and represent America with honor and dignity on the world stage,” Grisham wrote in a statement released by the Harris campaign.<\/p>\n

The “Republicans for Harris” program will hold kickoff events starting this week, per the campaign.<\/p>\n
