Kentucky’s governor clears schedule for Harris VP announcement, stoking speculation

Pennsylvania's Josh Shapiro is veepstakes frontrunner, but Andy Beshear is also considered a contender

Andy Beshear, the governor of Kentucky, canceled a planned appearance in the western part of his state on Friday with no official explanation, intensifying speculation over whether Kamala Harris might choose him as her running mate.

Beshear's schedule change is far from a guarantee that Harris will select him considering that Pennsylvania's governor, Josh Shapiro, another name on the shortlist of potential running-mates, also canceled a fundraising trip planned for this weekend.
