Tim Walz’s selection as Kamala Harris’ running mate underscores both the power of social media and of being relatively affable and nondivisive.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz hadn’t been in the top tier of potential running mates for Kamala Harris until the past few weeks. But his selection to join the vice president on the Democratic ticket underscores both the power of social media and of being relatively affable and nondivisive. So what took Walz from, nationally speaking, a relative unknown to major-party vice presidential nominee? You might just call the entire thing “weird.
Harris had good personal chemistry with him and particularly liked his “happy go lucky” attitude, according to CNN reporting. Getting along with a running mate and not potentially dividing the party with the choice is reason enough to pick someone. One of the first rules when it comes to a vice presidential pick is to “Do no harm.” Harris likely did no harm with this pick. Walz served 12 years in the US House and is currently in his second term as governor.
