Mr Walz beat out Pennsylvania’s popular governor, Josh Shapiro, for the number two role.
PHILADELPHIA - Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her newly selected vice-presidential running mate, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, campaigned for the first time together on Aug 6 in Philadelphia, kicking off a multi-day swing state tour aimed at introducing Mr Walz to the national stage.
“He mocks our laws, he sows chaos and division, and that’s to say nothing of his record as president,” Mr Walz said of Trump. “He froze in the face of the COVID crisis, he drove our economy into the ground, and make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump. That’s not even counting the crimes he committed.”
“Even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves, there’s a golden rule: mind your own damn business!” he said, drawing a huge ovation. Ms Harris, the US vice-president, announced her choice of Mr Walz earlier in the day, opting for a vice-presidential running mate with executive experience, military service and a track record of winning over the rural, white voters who have gravitated to Trump over the years.
He has pushed a progressive agenda that includes free school meals, goals for tackling climate change, tax cuts for the middle class and expanded paid leave for workers.“This is the most Radical Left duo in American history,” Trump wrote on his social media platform.“The biggest problem with the Tim Walz pick - it’s not Tim Walz himself.
