After narrowing the field to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Kamala Harris has decided to go with the Minnesotan. Tim Walz will be Kamala Harris’ running mate.
Walz is considered by many to be the safer bet for Harris and it’s her campaign’s hope he will help her in neighboring battleground contests in Michigan and Wisconsin.
From Fox News:
The 60-year-old Walz, a former congressman, is in his second term as governor of Minnesota, a state that Democrats have reliably won in presidential elections for decades but that the Trump campaign has aimed at flipping this cycle.
…
Walz, the chair of the Democratic Governors Association, may also help Harris when it comes to bringing in campaign cash, as he has helped steer the DGA to record-breaking fundraising this year.
The governor will also be able to showcase a slew of progressive policy victories in Minnesota, including protecting abortion rights, legalizing recreational marijuana and restricting gun access to curb shootings.
…
He was elected to the House in 2006 and re-elected five times, representing Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District, a mostly rural district covering the southern part of the state that includes a number of midsize cities. During his last two years on Capitol Hill, he served as ranking member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee.
Walz won election as governor in 2018 and re-election four years later.
