Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was chosen as Vice President Harris's running mate pick. MSNBC's Steve Kornacki is at the Big Board to break down the potential impact of the pick in certain states.
As a Black and Asian American woman, much has been made of the history-making potential of Kamala Harris’ candidacy for president. With her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, she has teed up another prospective “first”: If the Harris-Walz ticket wins the White House, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan would become the country’s first Native American woman to be governor.
As laid out in the Minnesota Constitution, Flanagan would assume the governorship if the Democratic ticket were to win the White House, or if Walz steps down to campaign . On Tuesday, Flanagan congratulated Walz for becoming Harris’ running mate, writing on X: As lieutenant governor, Flanagan has been a leading voice in Minnesota for Indigenous rights.
