Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Multiple sources, including CNN, reported the decision on Tuesday. The choice of Walz, a seasoned politician and former high school teacher, aims to build an electoral coalition of coastal progressives and Midwest moderates. Walz has been a prominent figure in the Democratic Party and has played a significant role in the party's attacks on former President Donald Trump. The selection is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the Democratic ticket in the Midwest.
