Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the 2024 presidential election, emphasizing his plainspoken, Midwestern communication style. Walz's humorous and relatable approach has resonated with voters, particularly in swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan, where the Harris-Walz ticket has drawn large crowds. Despite some support for Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Harris's decision to pick Walz aims to appeal to Midwestern undecided voters and moderate Republicans. Republicans have criticized Walz as 'dangerously liberal,' but polling shows his progressive policies are popular among swing state voters. Harris and Walz have been actively campaigning in battleground states, with Harris leading Trump by 4 to 6 points in recent polls. Former President Trump remains confident in his policy advantages, emphasizing the need for clear solutions to current issues.
