        AZ senator, former astronaut and navy aviator, husband of Gabby Giffords (a congresswoman who survived an assassination attempt). He is coming up a lot in speculation about Harris’ running mate and was one of the people contacted by her campaign.

        In all fairness, she does really, specifically, need an edge in Pennsylvania if she wants to win.
