Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate on Tuesday, choosing a progressive policy champion and a plain speaker from America’s heartland to help win over the rural, white voters.

Harris announced the selection in a text message to supporters. “I’m pleased to share that I’ve made my decision: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will join our campaign as my running mate,” she said. “Tim is a battle-tested leader who has an incredible track record of getting things done for Minnesota families. I know that he will bring that same principled leadership to our campaign.”

Walz, a 60-year-old US Army National Guard veteran and former teacher, said he was honoured to join Harris on the ticket. “I’m all in,” Walz wrote on X, adding: “Vice-President Harris is showing us the politics of what’s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school.” Harris was expected to appear with Walz at an event in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening. — Reuters
