Kamala Harris, the de facto Democratic nominee for the upcoming U.S. presidential election, has chosen Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota, as her vice-presidential running mate. This announcement concludes widespread speculation regarding Harris's pick to challenge the Republican ticket led by former President Donald Trump and his vice-presidential choice, Ohio Senator JD Vance.
Harris's selection of Walz, known for his progressive policies and leadership in Minnesota, signals a strategic move to bolster her campaign. The decision aims to unify the Democratic base and appeal to key voter demographics ahead of the November election.
