Harris's decision has put an end to intense speculation about which candidate she would choose to face former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance.
Walz first ran for Senator in 2006. He held the seat until he won the governorship of Minnesota in 2018, and then again in 2022.

Under his leadership, the state of Minnesota has seen major progressive legislative victories in recent years, including universal school meals, marijuana legalization, abortion protections, and gun control measures.
Before entering public service, he was a school teacher in Mankato, Minnesota, teaching geography to high school students. He also served in the National Guard for 24 years.
However, his Midwestern fatherly charm and outspoken personality have propelled him to the forefront as a potential vice presidential candidate, and as head of the Democratic Governors Association, he has campaigned for both Biden and Harris over the past year.
Tim Walz's simple response to Donald Trump and the former president's allies drew attention from Democrats when he called them eccentric.
Clips of him on television shows went viral, showing him protesting the Republican Party's "bizarre behavior" while outlining his accomplishments as a Democratic governor and how the Democrats would govern if they regained the White House.
Tim Walz grew up in a small Nebraska town, giving him rustic qualities that resonate with voters who have drifted away from the Democratic Party in recent years. Walz stated, "The golden rule that makes small towns work so we don't always end up being aggressive is: mind your own business."
