Kamala Harris selects Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate, reports say

Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate, the Associated Press and CNN reported.

Harris’s announcement comes with a little more than a week to go until the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The two will hold a rally in Philadelphia before they begin a tour through swing states.

Walz, a former history teacher, high school football coach, congressman and two-term governor, has been a favorite of the online left for his passing of popular progressive policies and for starting the trend of calling Republican politicians “weird.”

Similarly, he has shown a willingness to aggressively attack former president Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance.

“How often in 100 days do you get to change the trajectory of the world,” he said during last week’s White Dudes for Harris. “And how often in the world do you make that b*****d wake up afterwards and know that a Black woman kicked his ass and sent him on the road?”

Her selection came on a condensed timeline after President Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election last month, and thenswiftly endorsed her.

“Thrilled about the possibility,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said. “Gov Walz is a team player, a listener, and I’ve been very pleased with how his office engaged with the AG’s office over the years.”

With less than 91 days until the November election, the veepstakes turned into a mini-primary with candidates representing various factions of the Democratic Party. The final list included Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona.
