Harris could select her prospective vice president, as presidential candidates always do. That person’s name would appear with hers on ballots. But at next month’s Democratic National Convention, she could also announce the core members of her eventual government, including people who didn’t get the VP nod.

Here is an opinion piece published on WaPo yesterday and in it the columnist suggests that Ms. Harris select a team and present them to the voters which will include notable people such as Walz, Beshear, Shapiro, cooper and even Buttigieg. An alert knowledgeable posted that this is against the law, specifically 18 USC 599.

Whoever, being a candidate, directly or indirectly promises or pledges the appointment, or the use of his influence or support for the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Posting this as a general interest item. I had also posted suggesting something like this, forget which forum/publication because her VP choices are so good that this will be an extremely difficult decision to make.
