Vice President Kamala Harris has officially been nominated as the 2024 Democratic Presidential candidate, making history as the first Black Asian American to hold this position. She announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, garnering attention due to his past, including a 1995 arrest for suspected DUI. Harris's campaign has been characterized by a media charm offensive, aiming to boost her popularity despite previously being viewed unfavorably. Critics highlight her leftist policies and the strategic avoidance of press questions regarding her political record. While Walz is seen as a solid choice for the Midwest, his nomination has sparked scrutiny due to the unconventional process leading up to it. As the elections approach, party loyalty is underscored by figures like former President Jimmy Carter, who wishes to vote for Harris on his upcoming 100th birthday.
