Vice President Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. TIm Walz as her running mate in the 2024 presidential race.

Gov. Walz is currently serving his second term as governor in his state and is the chairman of the Democratic Governors Assocation. According to CNN, Walz has also served 12 years in Congress.

Walz has been vocal over the past week, speaking to Republican nominee former president Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, as “weird dudes.”

Additional reporting from CNN states that Harris has become comfortable with Walz as her running mate and will make the official announcement to supporters. A contingent of the Harris campaign met Walz ahead of a trip to Philadelphia, where he will join Harris for their first joint rally.

VP Harris in a statement on selecting Walz: “I am proud to announce that I’ve asked Governor Tim Walz to be my running mate. One of the things that stood out to me about Tim is how his convictions on fighting for middle class families run deep. It’s personal. As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he’s delivered for working families like his own. We are going to build a great partnership. We start out as underdogs but I believe together, we can win this election.”

“I’m all in,” Walz offered in a statement. “Vice President Harris is showing us the politics of what’s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school. So, let’s get this done, folks! Join us.”
