Who is Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' pick for vice president? (www.bbc.com)

As a coach at Mankato West High School, Mr Walz helped build up an American football programme that led the school to its first state championship.

He also earned plaudits for agreeing to be the faculty adviser for the school's gay-straight alliance at a time when homosexuality was largely frowned upon.

He first ran for office in a largely agricultural district that spans across southern Minnesota, which is fairly rural and Republican-leaning.

But Mr Walz campaigned as a moderate who cared about public service and veterans' advocacy, leading to an election upset.

I'm shocked happy with him, no baggage and he's pretty progressive. He's closer to Bernie than most would've hoped for and he's not literally dying on stage. I don't give a rats ass about 8 years, we have to save democracy now. Bring in the young ones then and set them up to succeed by having policies put in place that will be easy for them to take further. I can also see why r's are willing to vote for him in Minnesota, they chose well imo.
