Kamala Harris’s vice presidential pick, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), has a long history of pushing a far-left, progressive agenda as a lawmaker. In addition, the Minnesota Democrat has been plagued by personal controversies, including allegations that he embellished certain details regarding his military career.
Having served over a decade in Congress before being elevated in 2019 to Minnesota’s governorship, Walz has managed to fly under the national radar. Now that he’s officially joined the 2024 Democratic Party’s national ticket, however, his radical record will likely become a significant campaign issue.
