Walz, a 60-year-old US Army National Guard veteran and a former teacher, was first elected governor of Minnesota in 2018.
Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s candidate in the United States presidential election, has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.
Harris announced Walz’s selection in a text message to supporters on Tuesday and will introduce him at a rally in Philadelphia later in the day.
“Tim is a battle-tested leader who has an incredible track record of getting things done for Minnesota families. I know that he will bring that same principled leadership to our campaign, and to the office of the vice president,” she said in her message.
In a post on X, she said she was “proud” to choose Walz as her running mate.
