Join The Washington Post as Vice President Harris holds her first rally with newly minted running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) in Philadelphia. Walz joins a historic ticket featuring the first Black woman selected as a major party’s presidential nominee.

The announcement caps a tumultuous period of American political history, including President Biden’s decision not to seek reelection. With less than 100 days until Election Day, Harris and Walz kick off a nationwide tour across seven battleground states.

Libby Casey anchors live coverage from The Washington Post newsroom with analysis from James Hohmann, and Rhonda Colvin. Tyler Pager and Yasmeen Abutaleb will provide additional reporting.

    "That's not even counting the crimes HE committed!" Honestly, yes. How can we possibly trust a man to fight crime when he IS a criminal?

    Walz, "That's if he's willing to get up off the couch and show up."

    The smiles and laughter are where it's at, man.

    Is this the first time a U.S. governor has said sh** in a nationally televised speech?

    In my opinion the denomination of a party shouldn’t be mentioned do to we don’t need to draw a line between party do to republicans and democrats with be said together on this one to keep (donald trump) from destroying our country, freedom, and democracy. We must stand against his party policies, and backward ideas! 🙏🕊️

    They were saying that Nobody knows Governer Walz. However, after he provided tons of information this evening of all of his positions throughout his lifetime, along with his impressive accomplishments, I think that most people have a very good idea of who he is, I Like Him!

    Walz is a world class speaker and an all-American guy.

    This was amazing. It's so nice to see happy normal people. Also people that laugh and smile. It wasn't all just bullsh*t hate and nonsense. Not to mention actually funny. So crazy to actually hear about policies.

    Queen Elizabeth I was a childless cat woman. Cats were always in the palaces to control mice and rats.

    Oh my, this man! Love him! Love how he and Harris obviously like each other very much! So refreshing to see.
  • @LucSulla
    Good on Shapiro for getting up there and throwing himself behind this. Like him or not, it had to be a disappointment to get so close.
  • Walz has an incredible story and is bulletproof. Dems have this on lock. Honestly could even win with the ticket flipped and Kamala as VP.

    They needed another row of bleachers up top, amazing crowd.
