The first campaign rally since Harris named Walz as her running mate is underway now in Philadelphia, with the candidates expected to take the stage at about 5:30 ET. Watch live in the video above.

The news on Harris picking Walz, as posted earlier this morning:

Thank God! I have even more faith in Kamala Harris now, and I had hoped/predicted this would happen two weeks ago after seeing Tim Walz’s first interview when his vetting began. I and most everyone else had no idea who he even was last month, but that’s obviously all about to change.

Get the basic facts about Walz here, but an excerpt:

Born in West Point, Nebraska, Walz joined the Army National Guard and worked in agriculture, manufacturing, and teaching after high school.[2] He later graduated from Chadron State College in Nebraska before moving to Minnesota in 1996. Before running for Congress, he worked as a social studies teacher and football coach in the Mankato school district.[3] He was elected to the United States House of Representatives for Minnesota’s 1st congressional district in 2006, defeating six-term Republican incumbent Gil Gutknecht. He was reelected five times, resigning in 2019 after being elected governor. Walz represented a large, mostly rural section of southern Minnesota situated along the border with Iowa.
