U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, marking a major milestone since her move to the top of the Democratic ticket ahead of the November presidential election.
They are expected to appear together at a rally this evening after Harris formally clinched the nomination on Monday.
The search for a running mate began just two weeks ago, after President Joe Biden removed himself as the nominee amid concerns over his age and endorsed Harris.
The 60-year-old Walz is a military veteran, retired educator and union supporter whose state shares a 550-mile border with Canada.
The Business Council of Canada says his state shares more than just a love of hockey with its neighbours to the north.
Trade ties are extensive, especially in energy and agriculture.
