Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate for the 2024 election. Announced on Tuesday, this decision brings a Midwestern Democrat to the Harris ticket, broadening its appeal in the state.
Who is Tim Walz?
Walz, 60 years old, has a past as a high school teacher, Army veteran, and former congressman. His selection aims to connect with working class voters and conservative rural communities. Harris praised Walz’s commitment to middle class families and his diverse experience, seeing his addition as a strategic move for the campaign.
This choice follows a detailed selection process where Harris also considered Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. Walz’s experience as both a governor and a former congressman from a Republican-leaning district positions him to attract a broader range of voters. His military service and views on issues like gun ownership may appeal to voters who are skeptical of Democrats.
Kamala is expected to host the selected vice president in a virtual meeting, as noted in her X Space account.
Tim Walz Political Career
Walz’s political career began later in life. After serving as a public school teacher and military member, he entered Congress in 2006, representing a conservative district. He became Minnesota’s governor in 2018 and has implemented progressive reforms like legalizing cannabis and expanding LGBTQ protections, which have a huge following in the state.
Harris and Walz are set to kick off their campaign with a rally in Philadelphia, with plans to tour other battleground states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada. As the election nears, Walz will need to enhance his national profile and engage with voters amid a politically charged environment.
