STORYLINE:
Voters outside the arena Philadelphia where Vice President Kamala Harris and her VP pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are scheduled to hold a rally Tuesday are cheering his selection.
One voter said he was not disappointed that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro wasn’t Harris’ pick.
"I think he’s been a great governor, and I think that, he’ll continue to be a great governor, said Zach Dowhower. "And, I think that’s all we can ask for."
Harris said in a post on social media that Walz has “delivered for working families” as a governor, coach, teacher and veteran. Walz called it “the honor of a lifetime” to be Harris’ vice presidential pick. The two will appear together in Philadelphia at an evening rally.
In choosing the 60-year-old Walz, Harris is elevating a Midwestern governor, military veteran and union supporter who helped enact an ambitious Democratic agenda for his state, including sweeping protections for abortion rights and generous aid to families.
It was her biggest decision yet as the Democratic nominee and she went with a broadly palatable choice — someone who deflects dark and foreboding rhetoric from Republicans with a lighter touch, a strategy that the campaign has been increasingly turning to since Harris took over the top spot.
