On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris decided on who would join her on the 2024 Democratic ticket after a week and a half of vetting from a short list of Democrat stars. According to CNN, Harris selected Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) instead of frontrunner Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA).
Walz, a former school teacher and former National Guardsman, gained the support of a number of key players in the Democrat Party including former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The Minnesota governor has also gained the support of organized labor.
Walz seemingly beat out several other contenders who fell in prominence amongst the vetting team after initially making the cut to be on the short list. Those that were eliminated from contention include Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY), and Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL).
Harris and Walz will be going on a battleground state tour to seven cities nationwide in the next five days. The locations include Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Detroit, Michigan; Durham, North Carolina; Savannah, Georgia; Phoenix, Arizona; and Las Vegas, Nevada.
