Kamala Harris picks Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz as running mate

Tim Walz

Kamala Harris, Democratic presidential candidate and US vice president, announced Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, as her running mate on Tuesday.

Harris picked Walz as she prepares to battle Donald Trump’s Republican party in November’s US election.

Experts believe that Walz brings a rural Midwestern perspective to the Democrat’s campaign while also having notched liberal policy goals such as cannabis legalisation and increasing worker protections.
