Tim Walz is the man at Kamala Harris’ side in the US election campaign. The Democrats have confirmed this once again at the party convention in Chicago.
At their party convention in Chicago, the US Democrats confirmed Tim Walz as their vice presidential candidate for the November election. In a purely ceremonial vote, the several thousand delegates voted for the governor of the state of Minnesota as the so-called running mate for the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. The two had already been officially nominated before the party convention via online voting.
The party had brought forward the selection of candidates and carried out the process digitally – due to deadlines for printing ballot papers in one state. The voting procedure in Chicago is therefore purely symbolic in nature. According to the party, such a ceremonial vote is planned for Harris on the night of Wednesday in Germany.
Walz is scheduled to give a major speech at the party conference on Thursday night in Germany, and Harris on Friday night in Germany. The 59-year-old’s appearance is the grand finale of the four-day meeting, which is primarily intended to celebrate the new duo and give them momentum for the rest of the election campaign.
