The much-anticipated announcement comes just one day after Harris officially secured the Democratic.

She is expected to officially confirm Walz as her running mate in a video later today.

Walz is a former educator and member of the US Army National Guard.

This decision ends intense speculation over who the Democratic candidate would pick to take on Donald Trump and JD Vance in November.

A Midwestern governor, Walz is known for enacting an ambitious agenda in his state, including abortion reform aid to families.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly were also in the running to be named Harris’ VP candidate after the Democratic party threw its support behind her in the wake of Joe Biden’s decision to pull out of the race.

Tim Walz has gone viral in recent weeks for branding Donald Trump and JD Vance as “weird”.

The Democrats have embraced this line of attack, with it becoming a central part of their campaign against the Republicans.
