“Kamala Harris never got close enough in her first presidential run to seriously consider choosing her running mate,” Politico reports.
“But the working theory behind her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was floated more than five years ago. There was just a different running mate in mind — Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown.”
“When Harris’ top aides at the time privately mused about the kind of partner they wanted to see on the ticket, they spoke about an avuncular, and at times rumpled white man with broad appeal across the industrial Midwest.”
