Kamala Harris, the de facto Democratic nominee for US President has named Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, as her running mate ahead of the November election.
The decision ends intense speculation over which candidate Harris would pick to go up against Donald Trump, the Republican nominee and former president, and his choice for vice-president, Ohio senator JD Vance.
Tim Walz was born on April 6, 1964. He was a former U.S. Army non-commissioned officer, and retired educator who is serving as the 41st governor of Minnesota since 2019.
He was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 2007 to 2019, representing Minnesota’s 1st congressional district.
