Kamala Harris appeared for the first time alongside her newly announced running mate, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, a former social studies teacher and football coach known for his straightforward style, at a packed rally in Philadelphia yesterday.
“Tim Walz was the kind of teacher and mentor that every child in America dreams of having and that every kid deserves,” Harris said. “The kind of coach — because he’s the kind of person — who makes people feel like they belong and then inspires them to dream big. And that’s the kind of vice president he will be.”
Walz responded with a beaming smile, “Thank you for bringing back the joy.”
Democrats quickly embraced their new ticket, with the Harris campaign announcing it had raised more than $20 million in the hours following Walz’s official selection.
