Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has chosen Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, as her running mate for the upcoming November presidential election.
This decision concludes the intense speculation over Harris’s choice to challenge the Republican nominee and former president, Donald Trump, and his vice-presidential pick, Ohio senator JD Vance.
Tim Walz began his political career in 2006 by running for office in a Republican-leaning congressional district, where he successfully unseated the incumbent. He retained his congressional seat until his election as governor of Minnesota in 2018, a position he secured again in 2022.

Before entering public office, Walz was a high school geography teacher in Mankato, Minnesota, and served in the Army National Guard for 24 years. His background brings a rural Midwestern perspective to the Democratic campaign while showcasing his commitment to liberal policy goals, such as cannabis legalization and enhancing worker protections.
Walz’s diverse experience and legislative achievements make him a strategic choice for Harris as they prepare to contest the November election.
