It’s official Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota as her running mate.
CNN’s Jim Acosta in a post reported, “CNN: VP Harris has selected MN gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate.”
The New York Post reported, “Harris is expected to make the announcement to supporters before the duo appear for the first time together at a campaign event in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, four people close to the process told CNN.”
Per CNN:
Vice President Kamala Harris has made a decision for her running mate, with four people close to the process saying Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota is her choice.
A former educator, Walz is currently in his second term as Minnesota governor and chairs the Democratic Governors Association. He previously served 12 years in Congress, representing a conservative-leaning rural district that, both before and after his tenure, has been mostly dominated by Republicans.
He has over the past week delivered a handful of memorable haymakers against Republicans, though his most notable contribution has been a determination to label the GOP, especially its presidential ticket of Former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance. Walz has referred to the duo as “weird dudes,” before lighting into their political agenda.
The phrase has stuck, becoming a central meme in the new, post-Biden version of the campaign, a development that is delighting Democrats and apparently frustrating many on the right.
