Kamala Harris chooses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as VP running mate

It ends weeks of speculation in the accelerated campaign.

Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election, according to multiple news outlets including The New York Times. He’s gotten on the bandwagon of popular issues like ticket cost transparency, signing a “Taylor Swift bill” earlier this year, though he also vetoed pay raises for rideshare drivers while supporting efforts to keep Lyft and Uber in the state. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) were seen as potential choices from battleground states, though that brought fears that should Harris get elected, it may be harder to win those seats again in the absence of a popular incumbent.
