Is Tim Walz the right vice-presidential running-mate for Kamala Harris?

GEOGRAPHY TEACHER, lunchroom monitor, high-school football coach, National Guard reservist, congressman, state governor: in a world of careful CV-builders, the path Tim Walz has taken to the undercard of the presidential election is refreshingly random. Mr Walz first ran for office in his 40s. He won a rural district in Minnesota that most politicos thought was a lost cause. He likes hunting, maps and making jokes about the small-town world he grew up in. He is the first non-lawyer to be on the Democratic ticket since 1980.
