Newsman: Vice President Kamala Harris has officially named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate to challenge Donald Trump in November election.
The Harris campaign in an official announcement released on Tuesday morning said, Walz and Harris will “crisscross” the country to present a split-screen on who is “running to move the country forward” and who is running to move the country “backward.”
Tim Walz posted on X on Tuesday that he’s “all in” on his new role as Harris’ vice presidential pick.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to join @kamalaharris in this campaign,” Walz wrote. “I’m all in.”
Tim Walz, 60, made a name for himself in the veepstakes as he gained major traction online with his folksy mannerisms and viral comments calling Trump and Vance “weird.”
He served in the Army National Guard and was a high school social studies teacher and football coach before he was elected to Congress in 2006.
He won six terms in the U.S. House representing a rural area of the state that had typically leaned conservative. Harris and Walz are set to visit seven battleground states this week — beginning with a rally together on Tuesday evening in Philadelphia. Vance is set to visit the battleground states this week as well.
