0:58Now PlayingVice President Kamala Harris tapped Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, enlisting him to build a coastal and Midwestern electoral coalition to block Donald Trump from returning to the White House. #politics #kamalaharris #harris #timwalz #walz #minnesota #vicepresident
“Tim is a battle-tested leader who has an incredible track record of getting things done for Minnesota families,” Harris wrote in a text message sent to supporters Tuesday. “I know that he will bring that same principled leadership to our campaign, and to the office of the vice president.”
The pick hews to the conventional wisdom of ticket-balancing, complementing Harris — who hails from California and is seeking to become the first Black woman president in US history — across demographic, cultural and political lines.
Harris is expected to appear alongside Walz at a rally later Tuesday in Philadelphia. She called Walz in the morning and was set to speak with other finalists, who also include Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona.
