Kamala Harris Rejects Former Israeli Soldier, Picks Gov Who Legalized Marijuana As Running Mate

Vice President Kamala Harris has rejected former Israeli soldier and governor of Pennsylvania State, Josh Shapiro in favour of Minnesota governor, Tim Walz as her running mate.

GWG.ng reports that the pick of the Minnesota governor is expected to energise the Democratic Party base and caps the Midwestern Democrat’s short but swift ascent from a relative unknown to a leading driver of the party’s attacks on Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda.

Walz is a former educator, congressman and served in the Army National Guard. The duo will appear together in their first joint rally in Philadelphia later on Tuesday. He has a reputation of havin legalised marijuana in Minnesota.

GWG.ng reports that Shapiro, who once served in the Israeli Army had been tipped as the favourite given his control of the state of Pennsylvania, a must win state for every Democrat with aspiration to win the White House.

Following the decision on Walz, CNN reported that Vice President Kamala Harris will be making calls to the final vice presidential contenders this morning after selecting Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, people familiar with the matter said.

She’ll inform those who didn’t she didn’t pick to be her running mate and thank them for participating in the process, the person said.

Over the weekend, Harris met with Walz, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sen. Mark Kelly for interviews.

The meeting with Walz had “great chemistry,” the person said, and the two got along well. 

Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s running mate is bracketing the launch of the Democratic ticket with a series of events in the same cities and states as his opponents. Vance will make a campaign stop in Philadelphia this afternoon, hours before Harris and her running mate hold their first in-person rally.
