Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has skyrocketed into the public eye after being named as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate. A previous high school social studies teacher, with roots in rural America, Walz is arguably among the more relatable candidates taking center stage during the 2024 election.
During his speech at a Democrat rally in Philadelphia on Aug. 6, Walz contrasted his financial background with that of the Republican presidential candidate. “Donald Trump’s not fighting for you or your family,” he told the crowd.
