Jab upadhyaksh Kamala Harris apne saathi ki ghoshna karne ki taiyari kar rahi hain, tab The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research dwara kiye gaye ek poll mein pata chala hai ki is bhumika ke liye kai top contenders aam Americans ke liye largely unknown hain. Arizona ke Senator Mark Kelly ek aise vyakti ke roop mein ubharte hain jinki naam pehchaan aur lokpriyata, khaas karke Democrats ke beech, zyada hai.

Yeh survey un baadon ke baad kiya gaya jab President Joe Biden ne ghoshna ki ki woh is race se bahar ho rahe hain aur Harris sambhavit Democratic presidential nominee ban gayi hain. Yeh alag-alag rajneetik vyaktiyon ki taqat aur kamzori ko dikhata hai jo ticket par aa sakte hain — aur agar unhe chuna gaya to unhe kis prakar ki chunautiyon ka samna karna pad sakta hai.

Survey ke anusar, Mark Kelly Kamala ke saathi ke roop mein top naam hain: Kelly, jabki kuch vikalpon ki tulna mein zyada jaane-maane aur pasandida hain, phir bhi lagbhag aadhe Americans ke liye aprichit hain. Aur dusre, jaise Pennsylvania ke Governor Josh Shapiro, jabki rashtriya star par kam jaane jaate hain, apne ghar ke rajyon aur kshetron mein gehra samarthan prapt kar sakte hain. Kelly aur Shapiro ko front-runners ke roop mein dekha ja raha hai, un logon ke anusar jo is prakriya se parichit hain, jab Harris campaign ne lagbhag ek darjan naamon ke saath apni janch shuru ki.

Harris ne Mangalvaar ko kaha ki unhone abhi apne No. 2 ka faisla nahi kiya hai. Lekin woh, aur jise bhi woh chuni, agle hafte peni Pennsylvania, Arizona aur North Carolina samet pramukh battlegrounds ke saath saat rajyon ki yatra par nikalengi.
