WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris picks Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as running mate as she looks to boost Democratic ticket in Midwest, AP sources say. CNN Minnesota also confirms.

Walz was one of three vice presidential finalists who reportedly met with Harris over the weekend, along with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly.

Walz rose to national prominence in recent weeks when he began describing former President Donald Trump and other Republicans “weird” — a talking point now being employed by several other Democrats.

Walz first ran for public office in 2006, flipping a Republican congressional district in southern Minnesota. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 12 years before he was twice elected as governor in 2018 and 2022.

This is a developing story, and additional details will be added as they come in.
