Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate on Tuesday, choosing a plain speaker from America's heartland to help her take the fight to Republican rival Donald Trump, Paralel.Az reports citing Reuters.

Minnesota's Democratic governor since 2018 and a U.S. Army National Guard veteran, Walz, 60, has been a schoolteacher, football coach, hunter and gun owner and has deep connections to rural American voters who in recent years have voted broadly for Trump - all of which are qualities that make Walz a good partner, said a source close to the selection process.
