Vice President Kamala Harris Picks Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Running Mate
Harris Will Unveil Her Choice at a Rally in Philadelphia Today
Sources Say Walz Was Harris' Top Choice
Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election, according to three sources familiar with her thinking.
Harris will unveil her new running mate at a rally in Philadelphia later today, which is the top media market in the country. The rally will be held at the Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University.
Walz, 60, is a former high school social studies teacher and coach who was elected governor of Minnesota in 2018. He is a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, which is the Minnesota affiliate of the Democratic Party.
Harris and Walz share similar views on a number of issues, including climate change, healthcare, and education. They are both also strong supporters of organized labor.
The selection of Walz as Harris' running mate is seen as a sign that Harris is trying to appeal to moderate voters in the Midwest. Walz is a popular figure in Minnesota, and he has a reputation for being a pragmatic and bipartisan leader.
The Harris-Walz ticket will face a tough challenge in the 2024 election. Former President Donald Trump has already announced that he is running for president again, and he is likely to be the Republican nominee. Trump remains a popular figure among Republicans, and he has a strong base of support among white working-class voters.
However, the Harris-Walz ticket has a number of advantages. Harris is a charismatic and popular figure, and she has a strong track record of success in government. Walz is a well-respected leader in Minnesota, and he is seen as a moderate who can appeal to voters in both parties.
The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most closely contested in recent memory. The Harris-Walz ticket will have a tough challenge ahead of them, but they have a number of strengths that could help them win the election.
