Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a working-class politician with a rural background, is an appealing option for Democrats and independents – and perhaps even moderate Republican voters. … In terms of his political career, Walz has “talent” along with a track record of legislative achievements and election wins, said Louis DeSipio, political science professor at the University of California, Irvine. … “(The Democrats) very quickly need to introduce him to the American people. There's hope that he'll speak to football dads and older white voters,” said DeSipio. “He gets a couple weeks to try out, and then we'll know if this was a good or bad decision on Harris' part. So far, (the reception has been) positive.”
