Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for US president, has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice-presidential running mate.
The decision ends intense speculation over which candidate the democratic leader would choose for the second highest office.
On her Twitter account, Harris stated that she was proud of having Walz as her running mate as “he’s delivered for working families like his”.
Why Did Harris Choose Walz?
Harris’s decision to pick Walz was heavily influenced by his executive experience and policy achievements as governor, CNN quoted a source.
His progressive stance on paid leave, gun control, reproductive rights, and free school lunches aligned with her vision for the country.
One of the most significant factors in Harris’s decision was her strong personal rapport with Walz.
According to the CNN’s source, Harris believes Walz will be a trustworthy partner not only in campaigning but also in governing, should they win the election.
