Ms Harris announced the 60-year-old governor as her running mate on Tuesday morning, hours after she formally secured the Democratic nomination, becoming the first woman of colour to lead a major party ticket. With the governor’s selection, Democrats capped one of the wildest periods in American political life that led Mr Biden to abandon his re-election bid and endorse his vice-president last month.
Mr Walz shared more of his biography, casting himself as a politician who learned to “compromise without compromising my values” and a midwesterner who lives by the “golden rule” when it comes to personal choice: “Mind your own damn business.” The positive reception for Mr Walz built throughout the day as he earned warm endorsements that spanned the wide ideological expanse of the Democratic coalition, leading congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to quip that the notoriously factious party was exhibiting “disconcerting levels of array”.
“Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda far and wide,” said Trump campaign spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt. “If Walz won’t tell voters the truth, we will: just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is every American’s nightmare.”
