In a speech to unions in Los Angeles, Tim Walz pledged to join the administration to support workers. He stated: "Vice President Kamala Harris and I both know who built this country. Nurses, teachers, and state and local government workers are the people who built this country. It's not just a saying, it's the truth: When unions are strong, America is strong." The 60-year-old governor of Minnesota made a big splash nationwide when Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as her running mate. With this decision, the Democratic Party hopes to consolidate support among white working-class men - a key group of voters that can help the party win in battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Last week, Mr. Walz and Ms. Harris visited all three states, along with two others, Arizona and Nevada, as part of a joint campaign. Observers say Mr. Tim Walz has created a clear contrast with his Republican rivals, Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance.

Tim Walz, a former public school teacher, football coach and war veteran, has a demeanor that many Americans associate with the image of an “ideal father.” Workers at a campaign event in Los Angeles on August 13 described him as “approachable,” “down-to-earth,” and “someone who has been where we are.”
