Kamala Harris Picks Tim Walz as Her Running Mate
Two-term governor, former congressman, and veteran brings executive and legislative experience to the ticket.
Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, according to CNN.
The two-term governor and former six-term congressman from southern Minnesota will bring both executive and legislative experience to the ticket.
Walz, a military veteran and union supporter, has largely been credited with enacting a wishlist of progressive policies despite Democrats only holding a one-seat majority in the State Senate and a narrow six-seat edge in the State House of Representatives.
In recent weeks, he has given media interviews that served as a proving ground for the “attack dog” role he’ll be asked to take on as Harris’s No. 2 over the next three months.
This is a developing story.
