Harris interviews her potential vice presidential candidates
Vice President Kamala Harris will interview this Sunday his possible vice-presidential candidates, according to local media.
The vice president, according to The Washington Post, will meet today with at least three candidates: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Senator Mark Kelly.

Trump and Biden had agreed to two on-camera debates: one on CNN on June 27 in Atlanta, after which Biden declined to run for re-election, and another on ABC on September 9, for which a city had yet to be determined.
