Republicans turned Tim Walz’s outing at a dog park nearly three years ago into an attack on the Democratic vice presidential nominee this week, working on an online narrative to paint Walz as a liar.
To win the White House, the Harris-Walz ticket will need to appeal to voters in purple areas, and maybe even red ones. We asked Democrats who live in those parts of the country what could make that happen.
In dropping his presidential bid, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he'd seek to remove his name from about 10 battleground state ballots, but an NPR review finds it is likely not possible in certain states.
As thousands of delegates flocked to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, they sported outfits that symbolized their support for Kamala Harris, with some Midwest-inspired looks.
The Minnesota Capitol and Eastcliff residence where the Walz family lives has seen an enhanced security presence when Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, returned to Minnesota.
