Kamala Harris has selected Tim Walz to be her vice presidential nominee in the 2024 election.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz arrives to speak at a press conference regarding new gun legislation at City Hall on August 1, 2024 in Bloomington, Minnesota.amala Harris has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate for the 2024 presidential election, elevating the progressive midwestern Democrat whose clear and caustic messaging about former President Donald Trump—labeling him “weird”—has gone viral in recent weeks.
Relatively unknown on the national stage, Walz has enacted an ambitious progressive agenda in Minnesota and received support from Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other progressive House Democrats. Harris chose Walz, 60, over other top contenders including Pennsylvania Gov.
The pick could reflect concerns about Harris’s appeal in rural America. Despite her strong performance among certain key demographic groups,, there is apprehension among vulnerable Democrats in battleground districts about her ability to connect with voters in more conservative, rural districts. Walz’s experience running in competitive, mostly rural districts in southern Minnesota positions could make him a potential asset for the campaign.
Despite these criticisms, Walz’s supporters argue that his pragmatic approach and his ability to appeal to a broad range of voters make him a valuable addition to Harris’s ticket. He also earned a reputation as a unifying force during his time in Congress, where he was known for finding common ground with Republicans on issues like veterans' benefits.
