U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has formally picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.

Harris announced the selection in a text message to supporters, with the Harris campaign saying it is "ready to win" with Walz.

Walz, 60, previously served as a U.S. House representative. He was elected governor of Minnesota in 2018 and re-elected in 2022.

Harris, who is the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, with the choice of Walz, aims to broaden the Democratic Party's appeal for a wider range of votes in this election, which is only three months away.
