Vice President Kamala Harris named Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate for the 2024 election. Walz, known for his political mastery, suburban-and-rural appeal, and progressive patriotism, is seen as a strong choice to help Democrats win. A poll showed 53% approval of Walz’s performance as governor. In the upcoming election, the Harris-Walz ticket will compete against former President Donald Trump and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. The VP debate date is yet to be determined, but Walz’s viral fame came after he referred to Trump and Vance as “weird” due to their ideas. Other candidates considered for Harris’s VP pick included Pete Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro, Mark Kelly, J.B. Pritzker, and Andy Beshear. Walz’s selection reflects a strategic choice for the Democratic ticket in the upcoming election.
