Minnesota governor to join Harris in bid to unite America

Kamala Harris, whom delegates at the Democratic Party convention officially selected on Monday as the party's presidential candidate, introduced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice presidential candidate during a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Seeking the highest office in the country, Harris, accompanied by cheering crowds, stated that she sought a "partner who is a leader that can help unite the nation, a warrior for the middle class, and a patriot who believes in the promise of America."

“He is the kind of person who makes people feel like they belong to something and then inspires them to dream big. This is the vice president America deserves,” emphasized Harris.

Harris pointed out that although they both come from different corners of this vast country, their values are the same. She highlighted Walz's professional achievements as a high school teacher and football coach, calling him "the kind of teacher and mentor every child in America dreams of and deserves."

She also stated that comparing Walz to Senator J.D. Vance, who Republican Donald Trump chose as his vice presidential candidate, is “like comparing the first team to the reserves.”

“My promise to you is this: our campaign will reach everyone, from red (Republican) states to blue (Democratic) states, from the heartland to the coasts, in rural, urban, suburban, and tribal communities. We are campaigning on behalf of all Americans, and when elected, we will govern on behalf of all Americans,” declared Harris.

Pennsylvania, alongside Wisconsin and Michigan, is a key state with an undecided electorate about who to entrust with steering the country. Therefore, to win them over, U.S. presidential candidates devote much attention to these communities.

Referring to the ongoing intense election campaign, Walz said, among other things, “We have 91 days left. God, that's easy. We'll sleep when we die.”

He said he is proud that Harris chose him as her vice-presidential candidate. He also attacked Donald Trump, claiming that he “sees the world a little differently than we do” and “has no clue about service, he's too busy serving himself.”

Walz emphasized that J.D. Vance shares “Trump's dangerous and backward agenda”.

“I can't wait to debate this guy. If he's ready to get off the couch and show up," said Walz about Trump's vice-presidential candidate.

Both Harris and Walz, referring to former President Trump's views, said “we are not going back”. This was a nod to Donald Trump's radical views and solutions, which they believe would set America back.

Many recordings hit the internet during and right after the rally. “This is about education, the working class, and real freedom,” wrote Congressman Jamaal Bowman.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Donald Trump's campaign said that Walz is “dangerously liberal.” “He is obsessed with spreading California's dangerously liberal agenda across the country,” emphasized the spokesperson.
