Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, US media reported.
Gatekeepers News reports that Walz, a former educator and Army National Guard member, has risen from relative obscurity to become a leading voice against Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda.
As Governor, he has championed progressive policies, including free lunch for public school students, expanded access to Medicaid, and increased protections for workers to unionize.
Walz’s selection underscores the Harris campaign’s focus on the Midwest, where he is seen as a progressive populist folk hero.
