According to insiders,Kamala Harris has chosen Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, to be his vice presidential running mate.

Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her preferred governing partner after the most expedited vice presidential search in modern history. Harris was struck “by his authenticity,” a person familiar with the process told CNN.

Although their past connection was not very successful, Harris became more and more impressed with Walz’s real demeanor, according to aides, and they developed a pleasant chemistry during their final encounter on Sunday at her home at the Naval Observatory.

One veteran Democratic operator who has supported Walz since the day President Joe Biden resigned said, “He talks and looks like a lot of the voters we’ve lost to Trump.”

According to Harris and her vetting team, Walz went from being a third-tier candidate to a final finalist in an astonishing two-week timeframe. In a brilliant whirlwind campaign, he was driven by support from progressive and moderate groups inside the Democratic Party.

Source claims Kamala Harris and Walz’s “chemistry” was crucial in the choice of vice president.

According to a source close to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris and Walz had “chemistry” that was “really important and it really clicked for both of them,” as reported by CNN.

“It seems that their time together during Walz’s 2022 reelection campaign and their visit to the abortion clinic in March of this year had a significant influence. Furthermore, the Harris team saw how motivating Walz was for the base, much like the rest of us. They witnessed his popularity in Minnesota following the passage of a historic, progressive program. Walz’s vetting process went incredibly smoothly. It is, as some have said, somewhat of a Goldilocks scenario. Everything was perfect, the source claimed.

Kamala Harris will call the remaining candidates.

According to persons familiar with the situation, Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate and will be making calls to the remaining vice presidential candidates this morning.

The person stated that she would thank people who didn’t get selected as her running mate and let them know that she appreciated their participation in the process.

Harris met for interviews over the weekend with Walz, Sen. Mark Kelly, and Governor Josh Shapiro.

The source claimed that there was “great chemistry” at the meeting and that Walz and the meeting went well.

Some Trump supporters were happy Harris did not select Shapiro.

Many supporters of former President Donald Trump had been concerned that Kamala Harris, the vice president, would select Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, as her running mate, perhaps giving her an advantage in the crucial battleground state.

With Harris choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz over Shapiro, Pennsylvania “is still definitely up for grabs,” according to a source close to Trump, these allies are now exhaling with relief.

Despite Trump’s insistence that vice presidential candidates are unimportant, he and his running partner, JD Vance, have focused their recent attacks on Shapiro, suggesting that Shapiro may be a danger to the campaign.

Important details about Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota and Harris’ nominee for vice president

Multiple sources have confirmed that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been chosen as Kamala Harris’ running partner.

After serving as an instructor and coach for more than 20 years in the Army National Guard—which included a tour overseas following the 9/11 attacks—Walz unexpectedly defeated a six-term Republican incumbent congressman in 2006, a year that was historic for Democrats.

When the tide turned, Walz stayed put and was routinely reelected in the normally red district until he decided to run for his current position in 2018. (The GOP soon regained control of the seat upon his departure.)

Throughout Walz’s six years as governor of Minnesota, there has been a notable upsurge in social and political change. The Covid-19 outbreak came first, and in the midst of it all, George Floyd was killed by a White police officer, sparking protests against racism all around the world. Walz handled everything—including the more common criticisms of excessive spending—so skillfully that, at the start of 2023, he was heading the Democratic trio in the state legislature.

Prior to being chosen as Harris’ running mate, Walz had originally come out strongly in support of Joe Biden after the former’s dismal debate performance, during which time calls for the president to withdraw his reelection bid grew. next Biden’s withdrawal, Walz backed Harris the next day and has since shown herself to be a dependable, vivacious, and astute supporter of the presumed Democratic nominee.

Selecting Walz highlights the Harris campaign’s emphasis on a winning strategy that prioritizes the Midwest’s “blue wall” states. Though Minnesota sits a little outside of that bubble, Walz—a former high school football coach—has developed into a progressive populist folk hero during his tenure in government, which is precisely the pugilistic voice that Democrats opposing Trump are eager to emphasize.

Though he has delivered a few remarkable haymakers against Republicans over the past week, his most noteworthy contribution has been his drive to brand the GOP, particularly its presidential ticket consisting of Ohio Senator JD Vance and Trump. Walz introduced the two as “weird dudes” before revealing their political goals.
