Kamala Harris Chooses Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz As Running Mate, Sources Say

Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the 2024 presidential election. Walz, a former teacher and football coach, is known for his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his efforts to rebuild after the Minneapolis riots following the murder of George Floyd. He is the first Democratic governor of Minnesota since 1998 and has a reputation for bipartisan cooperation. Harris’s selection of Walz follows her previous choice of Senator Amy Klobuchar, who was passed over for the vice presidential nomination in 2020.
