He is an “everyman”, a right-hand man who, as the media outlet La Dépêche points out , ideally completes the “Harris” puzzle and seduces with his atypical career.
Tim Walz, during the debate on October 1 against his rival JD Vance, appeared extremely calm. He even said he was “excited” at the announcement of this verbal confrontation. Kamala Harris’ running mate, a 60-year-old man from the Midwest, a former military man, teacher and coach, has very quickly won the hearts of Democrats.
But who is Tim Walz?
An “everyman” with modest origins, an army veteran, very attentive to farmers. A man capable of rallying the rural world and thus completing the resolutely urban profile of the Californian candidate, underlines the media La Dépêche .
Young Tim, born in Nebraska, spent many summers on the family farm. At 17, he joined the National Guard and at 24, he took off his uniform to devote himself to teaching. He then flourished as a teacher but also as an American football coach in a high school for nearly 20 years. He drew his inspiration from his students, who strongly encouraged him to approach the political world and get involved. From 2006 to 2018, he was in the United States House of Representatives. In 2019, he was governor of the State of Minnesota. A passionate hunter but blacklisted by the gun lobby, Tim Walz remains a teacher at heart, he loves to share. Moreover, during his introductory speech, he did not hesitate to confide in his fight, and that of his wife, to have a child, explaining the hell he experienced with infertility treatments.
