US Presidential Election / Know who is Tim Walz? Kamala Harris made him her vice-presidential candidate

US Presidential Election: The US presidential election is to be held on November 5. Vice President Kamala Harris has formally secured the Democratic presidential nomination. She announced on Tuesday that Tim Walz will be the vice presidential candidate. Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota. Tim Walz will be seen with Kamala Harris during the election campaign this week.

59-year-old Kamala Harris will face former President and Republican Party candidate Donald Trump in the November election. Trump has nominated JD Vance as the Republican Party's vice presidential candidate. 60-year-old Tim Walz helped implement an ambitious agenda of the Democratic Party for his state, which includes comprehensive protection for abortion rights and generous assistance to families.

Kamala Harris said in a post on social media that Walz "has done a lot for working families." Kamala Harris hopes this move will strengthen her election campaign in the upper mid-west region of the country. This region is important in terms of presidential elections, as it acts as a neutral for the Democrats.

Donald Trump's eye on Michigan

Republican candidate Donald Trump won Michigan and Wisconsin in 2016. Trump lost those states in 2020, but he has again focused here, as his goal is to return to the presidency this year. The Republican Party is constantly focusing its attention on Minnesota.

Walz has been a six-time MP

Walz, who grew up in the small town of West Point in Nebraska, has been a social studies teacher, football coach and union member at Mankato West High School in Minnesota before joining politics. Walz served 24 years in the Army National Guard and commanded Sergeant Major, one of the highest ranks in the army. He has been a six-time MP. He was first elected to Parliament in 2006. He ran for governor in 2018 on the theme 'One Minnesota' and won by more than 11 points. Walz defeated his Republican opponent, Dr. Scott Jensen, in 2022.

It is the honor of a lifetime to join @kamalaharris in this campaign.

I’m all in.

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. https://t.co/tqOVsw2OLM
