The US Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrat presidential candidate announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in the upcoming US presidential election
This development came up as the VP prepares to take on the Republican candidate Donald Trump in November’s US election.
Walz’s selection brings a rural Midwestern perspective to the Democratic campaign, with a focus on liberal policy goals such as cannabis legalization, increasing worker protections, and abortion rights
Harris and Walz will campaign in all seven battleground states, starting with an appearance in Philadelphia on Tuesday, followed by rallies in Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada
Tim Walz, a 60-year-old Nebraska native, has served as Minnesota’s governor since 2019 and has a background in teaching, football coaching, and military service
