Vice President Kamala Harris has picked Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) to be her running mate for the 2024 presidential election. Upon announcing her campaign, Walz quickly endorsed Harris, keeping vice presidential buzz to a minimum while many of his Midwestern colleagues nudged his name into the fold. He became a favorite, alongside Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), in the final days before her decision became public.

Betty McCollum and Keith Ellison, a Minnesota representative and the state’s attorney general, respectively, have been his most vocal supporters.
