President Joe Biden had a phone conversation with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday morning before her official announcement of selecting Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Following this, President Biden also spoke with Governor Walz to congratulate him on being chosen, as confirmed by White House spokesperson Emilie Simons.
President Biden's unique experience of serving as both president and vice president provides him with valuable insights and advice that he can offer to both Harris and Walz as they embark on their campaign journey together.
When questioned last week about whether he had discussed the selection with Harris, President Biden affirmed that he had. However, when asked about the qualities that Harris should seek in a running mate, he chose not to provide specific guidance, stating, 'I'll let her work that out.'
