Description:

Tim Walz, the second-term Minnesota governor with a folksy demeanor and a swath of experience both in and out of government, gained a spot on the Democratic ticket as Kamala Harris’ vice presidential choice.


Supporters of Gov. Walz say the ex-Army National Guard leader, former teacher and past congressman could help Harris in the Midwest. But he also comes with baggage from nearly two decades in political office.


Listen to special coverage live from MPR News with host Cathy Wurzer and political editor Brian Bakst.


Clifford Bentley served as technical director for this special coverage.
