Harris, Walz kick off battleground state swing as VP's running mate introduced to Americans

PHILADELPHIA — Democrat Gov. Tim Walz is not a household name outside his home state of Minnesota.

So, in the hours after Vice President Harris named the former longtime congressman and two-term governor as her running mate on the Democratic Party's 2024 ticket, the Harris campaign instantly began working to showcase Walz.

His biography was blasted out on social media platforms, including Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter, and the Harris campaign spotlighted the governor in a new video.
