Kamala Harris’ campaign has officially announced Tim Walz as her vice presidential pick, setting the stage for the Democratic ticket as the campaign progresses. The campaign emphasized a shared vision between Vice President Harris and Governor Walz, focusing on strengthening democracy, protecting reproductive freedom, and ensuring opportunities for all individuals to thrive.
The statement highlighted Harris’ and Walz’s commitment to key policy issues such as women’s reproductive rights and the economy. The campaign pledged to draw a clear distinction between the Harris-Walz ticket and the former President Donald Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance.
Harris and Walz are set to embark on a nationwide tour to present the choice between their forward-looking agenda and the perceived extreme and dangerous Project 2025 proposed by Trump and Vance. The latter is portrayed as a threat to Americans’ rights, the middle class, and democracy.
The first joint campaign appearance of Harris and Walz will take place at a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, signaling the beginning of a five-day campaign tour across key battleground states. This tour aims to introduce the Harris-Walz ticket to voters and engage with them on critical issues facing the nation.
