In the US presidential race, Kamala Harris has chosen Tim Walz as her running mate. Unknown to many Democratic voters until now, the governor of Minnesota is already “impressing”.

In the United States, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris continues her tour of key states with her brand new running mate, Tim Walz. After Pennsylvania on Tuesday, August 6, the Vice President and the Governor of Minnesota were in Wisconsin and Michigan in the Midwest on Wednesday, August 7, less than three months before the November 5 election. This Democratic presidential “ticket” seems to satisfy the party’s voters, particularly in New York.
Just two days ago, Helga, a New Yorker in her sixties, had never heard of Tim Walz, but 24 hours after he arrived on Kamala Harris’ “ticket,” he was already adopted. “It’s the most wonderful thing that ever happened, assures Helga. We have so much hope. It would be a good thing for America. We saw him on TV and were very impressed. He seems like a genuine person.”
Being an American like any other is the political role that Tim Walz will have to assume, the opposite of a Kamala Harris from the very wealthy and sophisticated California. Nick, Helga’s husband, is also under the spell: “He’s down to earth. A country guy. He’s special. He used to be a football coach and he comes from a village of 400 people. It’s impressive.”
“This is what we need as a vice president.”

Before July 21 and the announcement of Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race, the couple was much less optimistic. For Helga, he did well to throw in the towel. “He is wonderful”greets Nick. Now it’s Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s turn for a quick campaign of less than 90 days.
