“Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) posted a message on social media that seemed to imply he’s not Kamala Harris’ pick to serve as vice president − then deleted and replaced the post − fueling intrigue as Harris nears a final decision for her running-mate,” USA Today reports.

He deleted it about 30 minutes later.
