- Vice President Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday.
- Walz's Midwestern dad image and background could be exactly what Democrats need right now.
- Walz's appeal may also contrast sharply with Sen. JD Vance, Trump's running mate.
If this election was a political TV drama (as it certainly has felt at some points this summer), Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's resume might've been deemed too unrealistic to write into the show.
