Results: Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz debut as the 2024 Democratic ticket at a Philadelphia rally
Published on 08/09/2024
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate on Tuesday, turning to an affable longtime politician who Democrats hope can keep newfound party unity alive in a campaign barreling toward Election Day.
In prepared remarks ahead of their first appearance together, Walz said that he couldn’t be prouder to be on the 2024 ticket and that she “brings joy to everything she does.”
“Minnesota’s strength comes from our values - our commitment to working together, to seeing past our differences, to lending a helping hand,” Walz plans to tell a rally in Philadelphia, according to excerpts provided by the campaign before he takes the stage.
“These same values I learned on the family farm and tried to instill in my students, I took to Congress and the state capital, and now, Vice President Harris and I are running to take them to the White House,” he will say. https://apnews.com/article/harris-running-mate-philadelphia-rally-multistate-tour-02c7ebce765deef0161708b29fe0069e
