Vice President Kamala Harris has announced her selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election. Walz, a Democrat, has served as governor of Minnesota since 2019 and is a former Army National Guard officer. He is known for his progressive policies on healthcare, education, and climate change.
Harris's decision to choose Walz as her running mate is seen as a strategic move to appeal to voters in the Midwest, a region that has been trending towards swing state status in recent elections. Walz is a well-respected governor with a reputation for bipartisanship, and his selection is likely to be well-received by independents and moderate Republicans.
The Harris-Walz ticket will face off against the Republican ticket of former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the 2024 election. The election is expected to be closely contested, and the Harris-Walz ticket will need to make significant gains in the Midwest in order to win.
