US President Joe Biden has accepted the decision of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to choose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice presidential candidate. He announced this on the social network X (Twitter).
Biden said he has known Walz for nearly two decades, first as a member of Congress and later as governor, who has proven himself to be a strong, principled and effective leader. Biden also noted Walz’s long military service.
“They will be the strongest possible defenders of our individual liberties and our democracy. And they will ensure that America continues to lead the world and fulfill its role as the ‘necessary nation,'” Biden said.
The US President called on “all Democrats and, indeed, all Americans committed to the ideas of freedom, democracy and American leadership” to support Harris and Walz in the upcoming election.
“For every generation of Americans, there comes a moment when they have to defend American democracy. That moment has come,” Biden said.
According to CNN, a White House spokeswoman confirmed that on the morning of August 6, Biden spoke with Harris on the phone before he officially announced his choice of vice presidential candidate, after which he spoke he’s Walz’s.
Remember that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will be the vice president of the United States if the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris wins the election.
As reported, Kamala Harris has surpassed Donald Trump in terms of popular support. The Democratic representative was ahead of the former president by 1% – 50% to 49%.
