Vice President Kamala Harris Chooses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz As Running Mate
Historic Choice Marks First Time Woman Of Color Is At Top Of Major Party Ticket
Walz Is A Veteran And Former Teacher
Vice President Kamala Harris has tapped Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, capping a historic search for a partner who can help her win the White House in 2024.
Walz, a little-known Midwestern governor before his selection, is now tasked with introducing himself to the country with only about three months until the election.
The choice of Walz, a veteran and former teacher, is seen as a move to balance the ticket with a white male from a swing state. Walz is also a moderate Democrat, which could appeal to voters in the Midwest and other key swing states.
Walz's selection is also historic, as he is the first person from Minnesota to be chosen as a major party's vice presidential nominee.
