Vice President Kamala Harris has decided on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. The 60-year-old Democrat and military veteran rose to the forefront with a series of plain-spoken television appearances in the days after President Joe Biden decided not to seek a second term. Walz has made his state a bastion of liberal policy. He won the governor's office in 2018, and Democratic control of the Legislature has allowed Walz and lawmakers to repeal abortion restrictions, protect gender-affirming care for minors and legalize recreational marijuana use. Walz served 24 years in the Army National Guard.
