Analysis: How will Gov. Tim Walz help the Democratic ticket?

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Democrats are rallying around Kamala Harris’ pick Tuesday of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate on Tuesday.

In choosing the 60-year-old Walz, she is turning to a Midwestern governor, military veteran, and union supporter who helped enact an ambitious Democratic agenda for his state, including sweeping protections for abortion rights and generous aid to families.

Katharine Huntley spoke with Middlebury political science professor Matthew Dickinson about what Walz brings to the ticket.
