US Vice-President and Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, according to a CNN report.

A Reuters report indicated that the final contenders for the vice-presidential pick were Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. However, neither Kamala Harris nor the Democratic Party has made an official announcement about the vice-presidential nominee.

Tim Walz, originally from West Point, Nebraska, has earned a reputation as a dedicated public servant. Prior to his political career, Walz worked as a high school teacher and football coach in Mankato, Minnesota.

Walz also served 24 years in the Army National Guard, retiring with the rank of Master Sergeant.

In 2006, Walz was elected to the US House of Representatives, representing Minnesota's 1st Congressional District. During his congressional tenure, he focused on veterans' affairs, education, and agriculture, gaining respect for his bipartisan efforts.

Elected as Governor of Minnesota in 2018, Walz faced significant challenges, most notably the Covid-19 pandemic. His response, which included lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine distribution efforts, received mixed reactions from the public.
