Harris’ choice of Walz as running mate ramps up excitement in Midwestern states
US vice president Kamala Harris and Minnesota governor Tim Walz will spend their first full day as running mates rallying Democrats across the American Midwest, a politically divided region that is crucial to their effort to win the White House in November.
The trip, which begins in Wisconsin before shifting to Michigan, is aimed at shoring up support among the younger, diverse, labour-friendly voters who were instrumental in helping President Joe Biden win the 2020 election.
