The campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly encouraging Wall Street contributors to make their donations promptly, citing a regulation that restricts contributions to specific presidential candidates.
According to reports, Harris’ campaign has been referencing an SEC regulation that prohibits certain employees of financial institutions from donating to a presidential ticket that features a sitting governor, prompting speculation among Wall Street observers that her chosen running mate will likely be a governor, as reported by Axios on Wednesday.
Fox News Digital did not receive an immediate response from Harris’ campaign regarding the matter.
Among the five contenders currently viewed as the most probable candidates for Harris’ ticket are Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Mark Kelley from Arizona, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. However, if current indications hold true, the three governors may be the ones to monitor closely.

“Any updates or reports concerning the search for Vice President Harris’ running mate are currently considered premature and speculative,” a spokesperson for the campaign informed Axios.

Harris may announce her choice for a running mate as early as this week. Support for her presidential campaign surged among Democrats after President Biden complied with party pressure to withdraw from the race.
