Tim Walz as Kamala Harris' Running Mate

Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, aligning her campaign with his progressive policies. Walz has previously championed laws that allow abortion up until birth and transgender medical procedures for minors, while also establishing restrictions on gun access and legalizing recreational marijuana. His selection is controversial, especially in light of past events, such as the riots in Minneapolis during 2020, which Walz was criticized for handling inadequately. GOP nominee J.D. Vance expressed concerns about Walz's associations and policies, reinforcing his view that the duo represents a problematic governing approach.
