Harris Selects Tim Walz as VP Running Mate Ahead of Multi-state Tour

Walz is scheduled to appear with Harris in coming days

Vice President Harris has told allies that she has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate, opting for a former high school teacher and Midwestern Democrat to complete a newly assembled presidential ticket, according to three people familiar with the selection who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a decision that is not yet public.

Walz is scheduled to appear with Harris in coming days in each of the seven most competitive states — Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

Prior to 2020, Ohio was considered a competitive state by those in the Beltway. However, due to its overwhelming support for rightwing candidates in rural communities and regions, the state is now viewed as a "red state."
