The vice president is currently in pole position to replace President Joe Biden as the Democrats' presidential nominee after he dropped out of the race, securing a wave of endorsements from her party and breaking fundraising records.
Harris will have to move fast, making the crucial decision before the Democratic National Convention next month in Chicago, where the party's nominee for the presidential ticket will be formally decided.
She has hired former attorney general Eric Holder to lead a vetting team that has already identified suitable candidates who could complement her bid, scrutinising everything from their family histories to their finances.
As the race heats up, a number of names are currently being floated, with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly reportedly securing strong backing from party donors.
