CNN host asks Hochul if she's bothered by Kamala Harris' VP short-list being 'all White men'

CNN host Kate Bolduan asked Gov. Kathy Hochul if she was upset by Kamala Harris' VP short-list containing only White men on Wednesday during an interview.

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign is reportedly urging Wall Street donors to make their donations immediately due to a rule that limits donations to certain presidential tickets.

Harris' campaign has reportedly been citing an SEC rule that bans some employees of financial institutions from contributing to a presidential ticket that includes a sitting governor, leading many on Wall Street to conclude her pick will be a governor, Axios reported Wednesday.

Harris' campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

The five candidates considered most likely to secure a spot on Harris' ticket are currently Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Mark Kelley, D-Ariz., Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. If the indications are correct, however, the three governors could be the ones to watch.

"Any reporting on developments or updates in Vice President Harris' running mate search are premature and speculative," a campaign spokesman told Axios.

KAMALA HARRIS SUPPORTERS UNSURE WHEN ASKED ABOUT VP'S POLICY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Her campaign has announced that she will have a running mate by the time she appears at a rally in Philadelphia next week.

THE STATE OF THE RACE WITH 100 DAYS TO GO UNTIL THE NOVEMBER ELECTION

It remains to be seen whether Democrats' enthusiasm for Harris' campaign can continue through Election Day. Harris has already improved over Biden in polls against former President Trump, but she is still trailing in most.
