Sen. Gary Peters
His name hasn't really surfaced in the media as a possible vice presidential candidate.
But now Axios reports that Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, 65, is a possible dark horse candidate, and that he's interested in the job.
Axios writes:
Organized labor is leading a quiet push for Vice President Kamala Harris to consider Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) as her running mate, Axios has learned...Michigan is viewed as a must-win battleground state for Democrats, and strong support from unions could make Peters an attractive strategic option for Harris.
Labor leaders have had discussions with the Harris campaign about including Peters in the vice presidential selection process, one senior Democratic source told Axios.
Peters was re-elected in 2020, defeating Republican John James.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and North Carolina Gov. Cooper have let the Kamala Harris campaign know that they're not interested in the job.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Sharpiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly have often mentioned as possibilties.
