Kamala Harris picks Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as VP

Live updates ahead of Pennsylvania rally with running mate

After weeks of speculation, Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen her running mate.

Multiple news outlets are reporting that the vice president has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and that an announcement is imminent.

Harris, who formally secured the Democratic presidential nomination on Monday night, is expected to announce her choice in a video message posted to social media.

Harris spent the past weekend reportedly interviewing finalists, including Walz, Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. By Monday, Harris had reportedly whittled her list of finalists down to two: Walz and Shapiro.

Harris and Walz are expected to appear together at a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday, the first of five rallies planned in battleground states this week.
