一位知情人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，随着副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯宣布竞选伙伴的日期临近，悬念越来越大——从周五开始，这一过程就掌握在她自己的手中。
消息人士称，由前司法部长埃里克·霍尔德及其Covington and Burling律师事务所团队领导的审查已经结束，该过程已移交给哈里斯。
哈里斯预计将在周二晚上宣布她的选择，届时她和她的竞选伙伴将一起出现在费城的一个集会上，开始在战场州进行为期多天的闪电战。
他们将在宾夕法尼亚、威斯康星、密歇根、北卡罗来纳、佐治亚、亚利桑那和内华达停留。
该进程现已进入最后阶段的消息是最早由报道纽约英国泰晤士报(1785 年创刊).
所有的眼睛都在看着潜在的竞选伙伴州长和一名参议员的组合。消息人士向ABC新闻证实，哈里斯的审查小组已经会见了宾夕法尼亚州州长乔希·夏皮罗、亚利桑那州参议员马克·凯利、明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹和伊利诺伊州州长JB·普利兹克。
美国广播公司新闻证实，宾夕法尼亚州州长乔希·夏皮罗取消了本周末在汉普顿的筹款活动。现在还不清楚他的周末日程安排。
周五在宾夕法尼亚州举行的法案签署仪式后，夏皮罗在与媒体的交谈中回避了一系列关于竞选伙伴程序的问题。
“我认为任何这样的程序问题都应该直接问哈里斯竞选团队，”夏皮罗在被问及是否见过哈里斯时表示。
当被问及他会为总统竞选带来什么时，他说，“我不会参与这种假设，”他说
但当被问及是否会出现在“周二的费城”——哈里斯计划首次与她的竞选伙伴一起竞选时——夏皮罗回答说:“我希望会出现。”
交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格也取消了周五日程中的一个项目，外界猜测他可能会参加竞选。
当周一被每日秀主持人乔恩·斯图尔特问及他是否正在接受审查时，Buttigieg笑着说“可能”
周五，在美国广播公司(ABC)的《观点》(The View)节目中，Buttigieg更加谨慎:“在这种情况下被提及，我感到很荣幸，这是一个非常重要的选择，她将做出对她来说正确的选择，为了竞选中的选票，但最重要的是，为了这个国家。”
亚利桑那州参议员马克·凯利周三告诉MSNBC，他“不会谈论任何事情”。我将集中精力确保卡玛拉成为下一任总统。”
他指出，他的妻子、前众议员加贝·吉福兹(Gabby Giffords)最近几天在密歇根州和宾夕法尼亚州为哈里斯竞选，但他指出，“下周，我现在的计划是在亚利桑那州。”
伊利诺伊州州长JB Pritzker周四晚上在MSNBC露面时表示，“我不会谈论我就此进行的对话。”
当被问及这是否意味着有对话以及对话的内容时，普利兹克说，“嗯，很自然，人们打电话给我，谈论成为副总统候选人的可能性。我不会说那些人是谁，也不会谈论那些对话。但是，这一切让我受宠若惊。”
他的周末计划呢?普利茨克有趣地回答道:“Lollapalooza这个周末在芝加哥举行……我听到其他州长谈论他们是如何取消他们的周末计划的。当然，我本打算在周日用Blink-182表演，但为了清空我的日程，我已经取消了。”
沃尔兹也拒绝直接回答他是否参加竞选，他周四告诉记者，“我不会为任何事情接受采访。我只是，我是谁，并把它放在那里，”补充说，决定属于哈里斯。
后来，他半开玩笑地补充道，“我不知道是否每个高中地理老师都希望在某个时候处于这个位置，但在我的跑步机上跑步，让人们谈论那里的事情，我尖叫着回应，这家伙太老了，这是非常奇怪的。”
另一位可能的副总统候选人、肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔(Andy Beshear)周四晚上在俄克拉荷马州民主党举办的晚宴上发表了巡回演讲，称赞哈里斯是“将带领我们走向未来”的人
“正如她所说，‘我们不会回去的。’或者就像我说的，‘我们不会回去，’”他补充道。
总统乔·拜登-他在哈里斯退出竞选后立即支持了他的总统竞选-没有给出哈里斯可能选择谁的暗示。
周五离开白宫时，当被问及是否与哈里斯谈论过她的竞选伙伴时，拜登说“是的”。
当被问及哈里斯应该在她选择的人身上寻找什么品质时，拜登说:“我会让她自己解决这个问题。”
当被问及哈里斯应该选择谁时，拜登没有回答，只是笑了笑。
Vice President Kamala Harris nears the end of search for running mate -- with the choice in her hands
Suspense is building as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate selection announcement nears -- with the process now resting in her own hands as of Friday, a person familiar tells ABC News.
The vetting, led by former Attorney General Eric Holder and his team at the Covington and Burling law firm, has concluded and the process has been turned over to Harris, the source said.
Harris is expected to announce her pick by Tuesday evening, when she and her running mate will appear together for a rally in Philadelphia, kicking off a multi-day blitz through battleground states.
They will make stops in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.
News that the process has now entered this final stage wasfirst reported by theNew YorkTimes.
All eyes are now onpotential running mates-- a mix of governors and one senator. Sources have confirmed to ABC News that Harris' vetting team has met with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has canceled the fundraisers he had planned in the Hamptons this weekend, ABC News has confirmed. It's unclear now what his weekend schedule entails.
In a gaggle with the press following a bill signing ceremony on Friday in Pennsylvania, Shapiro dodged a series of questions about the running mate process.
"I think any process questions like that should go directly to the Harris campaign," Shapiro said when asked if he'd met yet with Harris.
When asked what he'd bring to a presidential ticket, he said, "I'm not going to engage in those kinds of hypotheticals," he said
But when asked if he'd be in "Philadelphia on Tuesday" -- when Harris is scheduled to campaign for the first time with her running mate -- Shapiro responded: "I hope to be."
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has also canceled an item on his Friday schedule amid speculation he may be in the running.
When asked by The Daily Show host Jon Stewart on Monday if he was being vetted, Buttigieg laughed and said "probably."
In an appearance on ABC's "The View" on Friday, Buttigieg was more circumspect: " I'm flattered to even be mentioned in this context, and it's a very important choice, and she's going to make the choice that is right for her, for the ticket in the campaign, but most of all, for the country."
Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly told MSNBC on Wednesday that he was "not going to get into any of that. I am going to be focused on making sure that Kamala is the next president."
He noted his wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords, has campaigned for Harris in recent days in Michigan and Pennsylvania, but noted, "next week, my plans right now are to be in Arizona."
Appearing on MSNBC on Thursday night, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said that "I'm not going to talk about the conversations I've had about that."
Pressed on if that suggests there were conversations and what they were, Pritzker said, "Well, naturally people have called to talk to me about the possibility of being the vice presidential candidate. I'm not going to say who those people were or talk about those conversations. But, I'm flattered by all of it."
What about his weekend plans? Pritzker had some fun answering: "Lollapalooza is happening this weekend here in Chicago … I've heard other governors talking about how they've canceled their weekend plans. I was gonna perform, of course, with Blink-182 on Sunday, but I've canceled in order to clear my schedule."
Walz also has declined to directly address if he is in contention, telling reporters Thursday, "I'm not interviewing for anything. I'm just, am who I am, and put it out there," adding that the decision belongs to Harris.
In a tongue-in-cheek aside later, he added, "I don't know if every high school geography teacher expects to be in this position at some point, but it is very strange to be running on my treadmill and have people talking about the things that are there and and I scream back, this guy is too old."
Another possible vice presidential contender, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, gave a stump-style speech at a dinner hosted by the Oklahoma Democratic Party on Thursday night, praising Harris as someone who is "going to move us into the future"
"As she says, 'we're not going back.' Or as I say, 'we ain't going back,'" he added.
PresidentJoe Biden-- who endorsed Harris' presidential bid immediately after he withdrew from the race -- is giving no hints as to who Harris might choose.
Leaving the White House on Friday, Biden said "yes" when asked if he has spoken to Harris about her running mate.
"I'll let her work that out," Biden said when asked what qualities Harris should look for in who she chooses.
Asked who Harris should select, Biden did not respond and laughed.
