In the United States, Kamala Harris’ choice to support her during the American presidential election fell on Tim Walz on Tuesday, August 6. Governor of Minnesota, a state coveted by Donald Trump, this former teacher and American football coach spent twelve years in Congress.
A few hours ago, Tim Walz was still relatively unknown to Americans. On Tuesday, August 6, the governor of Minnesota became Kamala Harris’ running mate. If she wins, he will be vice president of the United States for 4 years. In Philadelphia, a Democratic city, residents enthusiastically validate this choice.
Tim Walz is a former social studies teacher, high school football coach, and National Guard officer. Close to unions, he has fought for the extension of paid leave for workers and the implementation of free school meals. He has emerged as a spearhead against Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance. “They are really weird people. They want to ban books, control your body.”he said. Moderate and reassuring, he could convince undecided voters. In Philadelphia, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will hold their first campaign rally, the start of a four-day tour of the state.
