Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States, has officially selected Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota, as her vice-presidential running mate for the upcoming November election. 
This announcement finalizes the speculation regarding her choice, setting the stage for a general election battle against Donald Trump, the Republican nominee and former President, and his vice-presidential pick, Ohio Senator JD Vance.
Tim Walz's entry into politics began in 2006 when he won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives representing a Republican-leaning district. His victory over the incumbent marked a significant political shift in the area. Walz's political career advanced when he won the governorship of Minnesota in 2018 and secured a second term in 2022. His governance has been characterized by substantial progressive achievements. Under his leadership, Minnesota has implemented universal school meals, legalized marijuana, strengthened abortion protections, and enacted comprehensive gun control measures.
Before his political career, Walz had a diverse background. He worked as a high school geography teacher in Mankato, Minnesota, where he was known for his dedication to education. Additionally, Walz served in the Army National Guard for 24 years, gaining a reputation for his commitment to public service and leadership.
