Kamala Harris has a running mate ... he is Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
The 60-year-old was elected Governor of Minnesota in 2018, and reelected in 2022. With Minnesota considered a Democratic-leaning swing state in the upcoming presidential election, Walz could help Harris secure some much-needed electoral college votes if they win his state. He's very popular in the Midwest, so he could also help in battleground states such as Wisconsin.
As Governor, Walz established"ironclad" reproductive freedom, secured protections for transgender people, banned conversion therapy and ended book bans based on ideology ... and he got free school lunches for every kid in the state.One thing that could become a problem for Harris ... she's walked back a number of her progressive positions and become more moderate ... so picking Walz could trigger questions as to whether she's a true moderate or a progressive in disguise.
