Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate after an accelerated race to find someone to complete the Democratic ticket following President Joe Biden's decision to drop out. The former high school teacher and Midwestern Democrat is quickly proving to be a popular choice among the party.
The two-term governor and current chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, Walz could help Harris in some battleground states like Wisconsin and Michigan. He is well known in Wisconsin as it shares media markets with Minnesota, while Michigan has some economic and cultural similarities with the state he now governs.
