Over the weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke with POLITICO to outline her plan to take on presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump's future running mate in the upcoming vice presidential debate, which has yet to be officially planned. Harris' readiness to debate comes after reports revealed that the Trump campaign has begun to narrow the potential vice presidential candidates for the Republican ticket.
"What we know is that Donald Trump wants an enabler," Harris claimed. "He doesn't want a governing partner. He doesn't want another Mike Pence, and I think that is clear. The litmus test is, Are they going to be absolutely loyal to Trump over country or their oath of office, or, frankly, the American people?"
The vice president also revealed that the Democrat strategy to handle whoever Trump chooses as his running mate would be to tie the two together as much as possible to prevent the GOP vice presidential pick from appealing to different voters. Harris also outlined that the Democrats will be using abortion as a main talking point in the November election after multiple states have passed abortion bans following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
"Everyone on that list has supported a Trump abortion ban in their state or has called for a national ban," Harris told the outlet. "In fact, many voted this week in the Senate against the right to contraception. That's how far down the road they are."
Biden's running mate explained that she's ready to take on any of the potential candidates in a one-on-one vice presidential debate that could take place as soon as July. "I'm planning on being at the CBS studios … in either July or August," she said. And let's see if the other side shows up. I'm ready to make the case—whoever he picks, no matter who it is."
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, the Trump campaign has begun to request personal information from vice presidential contenders. The vetting requests have been sent to Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson. Each one of the candidates sent vetting materials has been a strong advocate for Trump on the campaign trail, with many of them participating in fundraisers or appearing on national television to rally support for the 45th president.
While the 45th president's search has narrowed to eight candidates, several sources told NBC News that the race is really down to a top four. According to sources close to Team Trump, the campaign has narrowed down the top contenders to Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), Governor Doug Burgum (R-ND), Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Senator Tim Scott (R-SC). Irrespective of who Trump chooses as his running mate, the vice presidential debate will surely be worth watching as Harris attempts to defend her record and Biden's disasterous America Last policies.

What does Harris and Biden know about oath of office or loyalty to our citizens? They have broke their oath of office by invading our country with illegals from over 160 different countries and strap the American people to support them. And then continue with their uncontrolled spending to put our inflation rate to 10%, then they wage war on our energy, now regular Americans are struggling to survive. And we have terrorists in our country ready to attack us at the green light from China, we are on the verge of world War III we have war in Ukraine, we have war in Isreal, and we are being attacked in the red sea by the Houthies and Hezzbolla, we have all sorts of unrest, and we had none of that under president Trump. And all Harris can talk about is abortion wich has nothing to do with the Federal govt!...Can't wait for that debate when president Trumps V.P. asks her the so called border Czar, what the he'll did she do at the border? She went down there once and did absolutely nothing. All she likes to talk about is the yellow buses wheels that go round and round.
