Gov. Tim Walz will not be going to New Hampshire to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris.

“The governor’s schedule has changed and he is no longer traveling to New Hampshire this weekend,” said Teddy Tschann, spokesperson for Walz.

Earlier this week, a Walz adviser said the governor would be organizing kickoffs and smaller-scale rallies in the state on Sunday.

Harris is reportedly at the interview stage for candidates she is considering for the vice president slot. Harris has amassed the needed delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination. She intends to pick her running mate prior to a tour of key states that begins Tuesday evening in Pennsylvania.
