MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will face a national audience when he headlines the third night of the Democratic National Convention. Walz will deliver a speech Wednesday in Chicago. He wasn’t widely known outside of Minnesota before Harris chose him to complete the Democratic ticket. But Harris and Walz clicked when she interviewed him.
