United States Vice President, Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.

With this, Kamala is looking to strengthen the Democratic ticket in Midwestern states.

Walz emerged from the most accelerated vice presidential search in modern history from a shortlist that included half a dozen Democrats, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly.

The vice president held in-person interviews with Walz, Shapiro and Kelly on Sunday.

In a remarkable two-week period, Walz ascended from a third-tier candidate to a final contender in the view of Harris and her vetting team.

He was propelled by support from across the Democratic Party, progressive and moderate groups alike.

“He talks and looks like a lot of the voters we’ve lost to Trump,” said a longtime Democratic operative who was supportive of Walz from the day President Joe Biden stepped aside
