Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro met with Kamala Harris’ representatives while some labor groups expressed opposition to Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, as the Democratic candidate’s search for a running mate nears its end.

Shapiro’s meeting Wednesday is part of Harris’ selection process and took place without the vice president, said people familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity. It’s unclear whether the session was held virtually, or who else has held discussions with the vice president’s team. Shapiro, Kelly and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are among the top contenders for the job.
