Harris chooses Tim Walz as running mate for 2024 election

Tim Walz news

Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the 2024 presidential election.

Harris announced her decision on August 6, ending weeks of speculation. She praised Walz for his diverse background as a governor, coach, teacher, and veteran, emphasizing his commitment to working families. The announcement came shortly after Harris was officially nominated as the Democratic Party’s candidate. Walz expressed his honor at being chosen, and the pair embarked on a four-day tour across six battleground states, aiming to strengthen their campaign’s reach and appeal.

Walz, a seasoned politician and former Army National Guard member, has a record of bipartisan cooperation and significant legislative achievements. As Governor of Minnesota, he implemented policies such as universal free school meals, clean energy initiatives, and expanded paid leave. His military background and appeal to rural voters are seen as strategic assets for Harris, especially in crucial swing states. Prominent Democrats, including Joe Biden and Barack Obama, have voiced strong support for the Harris-Walz ticket, highlighting its potential to unite the party and appeal to a broad voter base. Meanwhile, Republican figures have criticized the choice, pointing to Walz’s handling of the 2020 Minneapolis protests as a point of contention.

  1. Why the heck do our msm show support for Kamala Harris and do nothing but childishly mock Trump?

    It’s pathetic and msm deserve all funding taken away because they are moulding people and it’s not what reporting the news should be.
