Vice President Kamala Harris tapped Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, enlisting him to build a coastal and Midwestern electoral coalition to block Donald Trump from returning to the White House.
“Tim is a battle-tested leader who has an incredible track record of getting things done for Minnesota families,” Harris wrote in a text message sent to supporters Tuesday. “I know that he will bring that same principled leadership to our campaign, and to the office of the vice president.”
