Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz joined Vice President Kamala Harris on stage as her newly-minted running mate to kick off their swing state tour. Walz tore into the Republican ticket while the Trump campaign seized on Walz’s governorship. NBC’s Peter Alexander reports for TODAY.
HONG KONG — Before being named Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz’s career included extensive experience with China — a relationship that drew immediate GOP criticism and became a hot topic of discussion on Chinese social media Wednesday. The Minnesota governor's ties with the country, which stretch back to his first days out of college, have been a constant in his career.
They were married June 4, 1994, the five-year anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown. “He wanted to have a date he’ll always remember,” Gwen Walz, a fellow teacher, told a local newspaper before their wedding. Walz praised the people he met in China even as he criticized a government he saw as holding them back. “If they had the proper leadership, there are no limits on what they could accomplish,” he told the Nebraska newspaper The Star-Herald in 1990.
