Tim Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, has been chosen as Kamala Harris's running mate. Known for his straight-talking style, Walz has served in the National Guard and enacted liberal policies as governor.

He has faced criticism for his response to the George Floyd protests but has also championed climate issues. The Harris campaign has raised millions of dollars since Walz's selection and is using meme culture and niche references to appeal to young voters.

Walz's lower profile may be a challenge as the campaign works to win over voters in swing states. Despite his ordinary background, Walz has displayed shrewd political instincts and his positions have evolved as his ambitions have broadened since entering politics later in life.
