Democrats hope Tim Walz brings boost in battleground congressional races

Nine days before Vice President Kamala Harris selected him to be her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz received a text message from a fellow Minnesota Democrat.   

"I've never lost with you on top of the ballot," Rep. Angie Craig wrote. In describing the text to CBS News, she added "LOL," saying she'd teased him at the time about his status as a top contender for the job. 

Craig, who represents the far southern suburbs of Minneapolis in one of the most competitive and moderate House districts in America, took an early stand against the leader of her own party. Soon after President Biden's dismal debate performance, she called on him to drop out of the race.
