The 60-year-old Midwestern Democrat is a veteran, a former public school teacher, and a father of two who thinks MAGA Republicans are just “weird.”
It’s official. Vice President Kamala Harris has announced that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) will be her running mate in her bid for the White House.
If you’re feverishly Googling Walz’s name to figure out who he is and why he’s already earning near-universal praise from Democrats, here are six key things to know about him to save yourself some time.
