After weeks of speculation, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will join the Harris ticket as her vice presidential pick over other candidates, like Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, wagering that a former red-district congressman with a progressive streak can help her win over working-class voters in battleground states needed to beat Donald Trump in November.

“The entire country is about to see why their friends from Minnesota can’t stop bragging about Governor Walz,” Minnesota DFL Party Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “By picking a servant leader born and raised in a small town who has dedicated his career to protecting freedoms and lifting up working families, Vice President Harris has chosen the perfect foil for [Trump running mate] JD Vance and his politics of resentment.”

    Where I live is basically the polar opposite climate wise and I dream of moving to somewhere frozen over half the year.

      Better move quick. Our winters are getting shorter startlingly quickly. We’ve been lucky to even get snow by christmas these past couple years.

      Do it, it’s fun! I moved here from Florida. Great decision.

      (And in February you can message me and say “Move to Minnesota you said. It’ll be fun you said!”)
