Kamala picks Tim Walz as running mate
Kamala Harris has picked Tim Walz as her running mate for the presidential election.
The Minnesota Governor and former high school teacher will become vice-president if Harris beats Donald Trump in November.
Walz gained national attention for his strategy of calling Trump and JD Vance “weird”, a phrase Harris has adopted when talking about her rival.
The Harris campaign will be hoping Walz’s plainspoken and small-town Midwestern persona could appeal to independent and conservative voters.
The Trump-Vance campaign has issued a statement, calling Walz a “dangerously liberal extremist”.
Harris will officially introduce Walz as her running mate at a rally in Philadelphia tonight, then they will tour key battleground states.
