Kamala Harris is on the brink of announcing her pick for running mate. She has already said that her veep pick will appear alongside her at a rally later today.
The latest data shows that nearly four in 10 Democrats (38 per cent) think Harris should choose a man to be her VP, as opposed to a woman (22 per cent).
Luckily for those four in 10, Harris is very likely to have a male running mate, as the three top contenders are currently Josh Shapiro, Mark Kelly and Andy Beshear – though it is still possible that Harris will choose someone who she has vetted outside of the public eye.
This may be the choice needed to win over a key part of the electorate, says The Independent’s Washington DC correspondent Eric Garcia: white, working-class men.
Some 41 per cent of Democrats think Harris should make a strategic move by picking her running mate from a battleground state.
