Vice President Kamala Harris has officially selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the 2024 presidential election, amidst speculation that included other potential candidates like Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Walz, a former U.S. congressman and Army National Guard veteran, is known for his progressive views and has gained attention for his candid criticisms of Republican opponents. His selection has sparked mixed reactions, with some media commentators questioning the decision, particularly regarding the omission of Shapiro, who could have bolstered support in a swing state. In addition to this announcement, Harris's campaign received a significant boost from Beyoncé, who reportedly donated $4 million and plans to participate in upcoming fundraisers. As Harris gears up to challenge Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, Walz's experience in education and military service may play a pivotal role in the campaign. The duo is set to be introduced at a rally in Philadelphia, marking the beginning of their campaign efforts together.
