Kamala Harris, US Vice President and presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, today, announced Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota, as her running mate for November’s presidential elections.
Kamala in a post on X said, “I am proud to announce that I’ve asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate. As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he’s delivered for working families like his. It’s great to have him on the team.”
In an acceptance post made on X, Mr Walz described his nomination as the honour of a lifetime. “I’m all in,” he said, adding that “Vice President Harris is showing us the politics of what’s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school. So, let’s get this done, folks!”
Ms Harris emerged as the frontrunner to be the Democratic Party’s candidate after President Joe Biden stepped down from the race and endorsed her.
