Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. The pair made their debut together at a rally in Philadelphia on Temple University’s campus. Harris praised Walz as a leader who inspires people to dream big, making him the kind of vice president America deserves. Walz energized the crowd, emphasizing the urgency of the upcoming 91-day campaign.
Walz, a Midwestern governor, military veteran, and union supporter, has helped enact progressive policies in Minnesota. Joining Harris’ team is aimed at strengthening her campaign in the upper Midwest, a critical region in presidential politics. Since the announcement, the campaign has raised over $20 million in grassroots donations.
Supporters gathered early for the rally, expressing surprise at the choice of Walz over Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. However, many voiced their support for the move, citing Walz’s record and the need for a progressive voice in modern politics. Harris and Walz emphasized their commitment to working for working families and delivering a brighter future for Americans moving forward.
Harris made the announcement on social media hours before the rally, expressing her excitement to have Walz join her on this journey. The pair’s message of unity and progress resonated with supporters in attendance, setting the tone for their joint campaign moving forward.
