00:00Time now for Decision 2024. Today, Vice President Kamala Harris and her newly announced running
00:09mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, return to the campaign trail.
00:14The duo held a rally for the first time together last night in Pennsylvania as Harris seeks
00:18to introduce voters to the new Democratic Party ticket. NBC's Brie Jackson has the latest
00:24from Washington, D.C.
00:25The new Democratic ticket taking the stage in Pennsylvania.
00:32We are the underdogs in this race, but we have the momentum.
00:37Vice President Kamala Harris tapping Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. The
00:4360-year-old former teacher is a veteran of the National Guard, gun owner, and known for
00:49his progressive policies.
00:51In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make. Even
01:00if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves, there's a golden rule. Mind your own damn
01:05business.
01:06Political experts tell me his Midwestern appeal brings a strong balance to the ticket.
01:11He's got a dad profile, an everyday guy sort of profile that counterbalances really interestingly,
01:18Harris' cosmopolitan sort of coastal elite vibe that stands out.
01:23But according to a recent poll, many Americans say they've never heard of Walz.
01:28I have no idea who that man is, but I'm going to do research.
01:31The Trump campaign is painting a grim picture of the duo in this new ad.
01:36Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, they're failed, weak, and dangerously liberal.
01:42J.D. Vance is launching similar attacks.
01:45The biggest problem with the Tim Walz pick, it's not Tim Walz himself, it's what it says
01:49about Kamala Harris, that when given an opportunity, she will bend the knee to the most radical
01:54elements of her party.
01:55Both campaigns are hitting battleground states as Democrats seek to build on momentum while
02:01Republicans look to regain it.
02:04In Washington, Brie Jackson, NBC News.
02:07It's going to be a fight to the finish for both those parties. Vice President Harris
02:11had just 16 days to select a running mate in picking Tim Walz.
02:15Chemistry was key here.
02:17Harris was also convinced that he would have her back and not let his personal ambitions
02:21get in the way.
02:22He told her he had no intention of ever running for president.
02:25Vice President Harris and Governor Walz will hold rallies in Wisconsin and in Michigan
02:29today.
02:30J.D. Vance also set to deliver remarks in those key battleground states.
02:35More Wake Up Idaho after this.
