Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for President of the United States in 2024 and then-Vice President of the United States (2021–2025), considered several prominent individuals as potential running mates.

After formally accepting their nomination during the 2024 Democratic National Convention,^[3] Harris and Walz went on to lose the general election to the Republican ticket of former President Donald Trump and U.S. Senator J.D. Vance.
