While the exact nature of the video has yet to be determined, campaign insiders point to Harris ' 2020 video introduction by President Joe Biden as a likely model. According to them, the leak of information about the choice of a candidate may disrupt these plans.
On Sunday, Harris interviewed Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro, and Minnesota governor Tim Waltz at the vice president's residence in Washington. A person familiar with the selection process said Harris may have already virtually talked to other potential candidates, or may have done so on Monday.
Kentucky governor Andy Bashir, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Illinois Governor Jay Pritzker were also reviewed by the Harris campaign Review Team.

Politico recalled that Biden officially introduced Harris in 2020 in a two-minute clip released five days before the Democratic National Convention, which included a video of the future president calling Harris and asking her to join. However, the media reported this the night before the video was released, and Biden's campaign acknowledged this by posting a message online.
Harris is scheduled to speak to his vice presidential candidate for the first time at a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday, starting a five-day tour of seven states.
