'Good vibes' and midwestern appeal: why Harris picked Walz
Few people had Tim Walz on their early lists of possible vice-presidential choices. But on Tuesday, he won the race. Hear from our North America correspondent in Philadelphia.

As they walked out for the first time as presidential running mates on Tuesday night, Tim Walz turned to Kamala Harris and mouthed one word: βwowβ.
It spoke to the enthusiastic response from the Philadelphia crowd, but also reflected the unlikely journey that the Minnesota governor has been on over the past week.
Our North America correspondent, Anthony Zurcher, was watching the rally in Philadelphia.
