A governor was selected to be Vice President Kamala Harris’s running-mate, but it wasn’t the Governor of Illinois.
JB Pritzker made the final round in the selection process and says that he was grateful to go through the vetting process all the way to the end.
“The process is one that attempts to weed out, can you be someone’s support mechanism to be the #2. Can you bring another set of advice to the table that’s valuable? I don’t think you get on that list unless they do think you could be President of the United States and do the job if you had to. It’s an honor to be asked.”
Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be on her Presidential ticket.
