The decision ends intense speculation over which candidate Harris would pick to go up against Donald Trump, the Republican nominee and former president, and his choice for vice-president, the Ohio senator JD Vance.<\/p>\n<p>Walz first ran for office in 2006 in a Republican-leaning congressional district, upsetting the incumbent. He kept the seat until he won the Minnesota governorship in 2018, then again in 2022. Under his leadership, the state has seen significant progressive legislative wins in recent years, including universal school meals, legalized marijuana, abortion protections and gun control measures. Before he entered public office, he was a school teacher in Mankato, Minnesota, teaching geography to high school students. He also served in the army national guard for 24 years.<\/p>\n<p>In an Instagram post announcing the pick, Harris said: \u201cOne of the things that stood out to me about Tim is how his convictions on fighting for middle-class families run deep. It\u2019s personal.\u201d She cited his upbringing in Nebraska, and how after his father\u2019s death to cancer, his family relied on social security survivor benefits to make ends meet. He used the GI bill to attend college. He coached high school football and advised the high school\u2019s gay-straight alliance. His background is \u201cimpressive in its own right\u201d, but also informs his governing, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota Democrats\u2019 legislative record played into her choice \u2013 she noted a law that constitutionally protects access to abortion and one requiring universal background checks for gun purchases. \u201cBut what impressed me most about Tim is his deep commitment to his family,\u201d she added. \u201cWe are going to build a great partnership. We are going to build a great team. We are going to win this election.\u201d Walz posted a short statement to X on Tuesday. \u201cVice-President Harris is showing us the politics of what\u2019s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/article\/2024\/aug\/06\/kamala-harris-vice-president-pick-tim-walz\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/article\/2024\/aug\/06\/kamala-harris-vice-president-pick-tim-walz\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/kamala-harris-bets-on-progressive-tim-walz-as-running-mate-we-are-going-to-win\/\">Kamala Harris bets on progressive Tim Walz as running mate: \u2018We are going to win\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,13650,15593],"class_list":["post-132847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-kamala-harris","tag-tim-walz"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132847\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
