Kamala’s VP pick will be guided by state polls, expert tells CNN

The choice of the vice presidential candidate on Kamala Harris’s ticket, if she is confirmed as the Democratic Party’s candidate, will be determined by a technical and meticulous process, according to Thiago Aragão, CEO of Arko Internacional.

In an interview with CNN the expert highlighted that the decision will be strongly influenced by research carried out in several American states. “Ultimately, what will dictate the decision is the research within each of these states,” stated Aragão.

Data-driven electoral strategy

The selection process goes beyond Harris’ personal preferences, focusing on a strategic approach to maximize the electoral appeal of the ticket. Aragão explained: “They do a survey with the names of each of these potential candidates in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. I think the sum of those will lead to the decision.”

This methodology aims to identify the candidate who can bring the most electoral benefits not only in his home state, but also in other states that are crucial for victory in the presidential elections.

National impact of choice

Although names like Mark Kelly have been mentioned as possible candidates for vice president, Aragão emphasizes that the final decision will transcend personal affinities. “It won’t just be an affinity that Kamala may have for one or the other. The decision will be more technical,” he emphasized.

This approach reflects the strategic importance of the vice presidential nomination in American politics, especially in an election that promises to be highly competitive. The final decision could have a significant impact on the Democratic campaign and the shape of the electoral map for the next presidential election.
