The Minnesota Governor can appeal to rural, white voters
In choosing Mr. Walz, Ms. Harris seeks to capitalize on his connections with voters in the swing states of the Midwest, such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, where she will hold rallies with Mr. Walz later this week.The slate of potential candidates was whittled down over the past few days, with Mr. Walz, along with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, reportedly the last men standing.
But it is notable that, after President Joe Biden explicitly stated that he would choose a woman as his running mate in the 2020 presidential election, and as pressure mounted for him to choose a woman of colour, Ms. Harris’s calculation that a white man was required to balance the Democraticwent without saying.
Electoral campaigns are all about sending signals to would-be voters. And, like it or not, signals help the electorate see themselves and their identities represented by those who hold the highest political office in the country. These signals matter.
