Philadelphia, PA - Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in the upcoming presidential election. The announcement was made Tuesday morning, just hours before a scheduled campaign rally in Philadelphia.
Walz is a two-term governor who has been praised for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his commitment to progressive policies. He is seen as a potential bridge between the moderate and progressive wings of the Democratic Party.
Harris's selection of Walz represents a strategic move to appeal to voters in the Midwest, a region that is crucial to winning the presidency. Walz is a popular figure in Minnesota, and his selection is likely to help Harris carry the state in the election.
The Harris-Walz ticket will face a tough challenge against the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump. Trump is a polarizing figure, but he remains popular among his base of supporters. The election is expected to be close, and the outcome will likely be decided in a handful of key swing states.
