Earlier today, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris announced that Tim Walz—the governor of Minnesota—will be her running mate in the November 5th presidential election!
Before he was sworn in as Minnesota's current governor, Walz was a military veteran who served in the Army National Guard for 24 years, a football coach (for Mankato West High School) who led his team to the 1999 state championship and was a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
In regards to being the governor of The North Star State, Walz passed many progressive legislation—such as universal gun background checks (after he was originally endorsed by the National Rifle Association), free college tuition, codifying abortion rights and providing free breakfast and lunch meals to school children.
With great fanfare, Vice President Harris introduced Coach Walz to thousands of attendees who showed up to their Philadelphia rally at Temple University’s Liacouras Center tonight! The two Democratic candidates will appear in Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Detroit, Michigan; Glendale, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada over the next couple of days.
If the crowd at each of these battleground states are as large and boisterous as the one in Pennsylvania a few hours ago, then it's safe to say that Harris and Walz have begun their campaign for the presidency and vice presidency with a bang! And to make things better, Walz hasn't been accused of making love to a couch, wearing eyeliner or insulting women who are "childless cat ladies."
I'm looking at you, Trump's running mate and Diet Mountain Dew-drinking weirdo, JD Vance.
Since the day I announced my candidacy, I set out to find a partner who can help unite our nation and move us forward—a fighter for the middle class and patriot who believes in the promise of America.

Growing up, I learned to be generous toward my neighbors, compromise without compromising my values, and to work for the common good.@KamalaHarris and I both believe in that common good – in that fundamental promise of America. We’re ready to fight for it. And like she says:… pic.twitter.com/5SfrDRqx7C
