Consider this your official introduction to Kamala Harris' running mate, Tim Walz.

Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Didn't know Tim Walz before today? Consider this your official introduction to Kamala Harris' running mate.

Here are some notable moments from his political career:

"These are weird people on the other side," Walz said referring to Republicans during this election cycle. "They want to take books away, they want to be in your exam room. That's what it comes down to."

Walz gained more traction as a potential VP pick when he went viral last month, labeling President Trump and his running mate JD Vance as "weird." The word has become an attack that several Democrats have adopted including Vice President Harris.

"The Senate passed a farm bill with a two-thirds majority," Walz said while in the House of Representatives. "They couldn't agree it's Wednesday over there, yet they passed a farm bill."

"What is the last thing that you did truly out in the public, truly by yourself?" an interviewer asked.

"I went to Menards and bought an air filter for my furnace," Walz responded.

"Go get vaccinated so you're alive to vote against me in the next election," Walz urged Minnesotans as governor during the pandemic.
