iNDICA NEWS BUREAU-
US Vice President Kamala Harris posted a video Tuesday, August 6, of the moment she called Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to inform him that the latter was her VP pick for the November 5 election.
“Listen, I want you to do this with me. Let’s do this together,” Harris said.
“Would you be my running mate, and let’s get this thing on the road?”
Walz responded: “I would be honored, Madam Vice-President. The joy that you are bringing back to the country, the enthusiasm that’s out there, it will be a privilege to take this across the country.”
The video mirrors one that current US President Joe Biden posted in 2020 when he asked Harris to be his VP pick.
“When I called @Tim_Walz this morning to ask him to join our campaign, I shared my deep level of respect for him and the work we’ve done together,” Harris wrote on X.
“We’re going to unify this country and we’re going to win. Let’s go get this done,” she added.

The Harris campaign announced that it had raised $10 million since the announcement of Walz as the running mate.
Walz, meanwhile, posted an introductory video.
“Growing up, I learned to be generous toward my neighbours, compromise without compromising my values, and to work for the common good. @KamalaHarris and I both believe in that common good – in that fundamental promise of America. We’re ready to fight for it. And like she says: when we fight, we win,” Walz wrote on X.
