Tim Walz won’t hurt Kamala Harris. Will he help?

Update: 2024-08-06

Description

Tim Walz went from being a little-known Midwestern governor to Democratic vice-presidential candidate in a matter of a few weeks. But in this sprint of a campaign, nothing is moving slowly. Charles Lane, Molly Roberts and Matt Bai talk through whether Walz can keep up the momentum of the Harris campaign, if the “weird” strategy is good or bad, and how much of a unifier Walz will be for the Democratic ticket.

Read more from our columnists about Kamala Harris’s choice of a running mate here:

Karen Tumulty: “Tim Walz made ‘weird’ happen. What he offers the ticket is much more.”

Perry Bacon Jr: “Tim Walz is a bold, smart choice for Harris’s running mate”
