Harris picks Walz as 2024 running mate

(NewsNation) — Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate in the 2024 election, according to NewsNation partner The Hill.

Prominent Democratic elected officials, party leaders and political organizations quickly lined up behind Harris in the days after President Joe Biden’s exit from the race. Her campaign set a new 24-hour record for presidential donations after Biden’s announcement and exceeded $200 million raised in her first week, despite Harris not yet being officially declared the Democrats’ nominee.
