Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has announced Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota as her VP running mate, according to reports.
Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, a selection Democrats hope will boost the ticket's chances among white rural voters in must-win swing states, NBC News reported on Tuesday, citing three sources familiar with her thinking. Harris made the final decision on Tuesday morning, hours ahead of a scheduled campaign rally in Philadelphia with her new running mate set to kick off around 5 p.m. ET, according to NBC News.
Although Minnesota is not considered a battleground state, Democrats are hoping that Walz’s personal story and his progressive credentials can help the ticket win over voters in rural areas who have been more drawn to the GOP in recent elections. Walz's allies have touted his background and his resume as a boon to the Harris ticket. A Nebraska native, the twice-elected Minnesota governor is a military veteran and a former schoolteacher and high school football coach.
