Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate on Tuesday, aiming to win over rural, white voters. Harris announced his selection in a text message to supporters.

Walz, a 60-year-old veteran of the U.S. Army National Guard and former teacher, is known for his progressive agenda and ability to connect with rural voters. Harris' campaign hopes his grassroots appeal will counteract the influence of rival Donald Trump in key battleground states.

Walz's tenure as governor included significant moments like the George Floyd case, where he showed his commitment to justice. His diverse political experience and appeal to both progressive and conservative policies make him a well-rounded choice for Harris.
