US Vice President and current Democrat Presidential candidate Kamala Harris has named Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the November 5 election.
Harris posted a video on X of the moment she called Walz to inform him of her choice.
“Listen, I want you to do this with me. Let’s do this together,” she said.
“Would you be my running mate, and let’s get this thing on the road?”
Walz responded: “I would be honoured, Madam Vice-President. The joy that you are bringing back to the country, the enthusiasm that’s out there, it will be a privilege to take this across the country.”
When I called @Tim_Walz this morning to ask him to join our campaign, I shared my deep level of respect for him and the work we've done together.

The video is akin to the one current US President Joe Biden posted in 2020, when he asked his now deputy Harris to be his VP pick.
“When I called @Tim_Walz this morning to ask him to join our campaign, I shared my deep level of respect for him and the work we’ve done together,” Harris wrote on X. “We’re going to unify this country and we’re going to win. Let’s go get this done,” she added.
