Incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for President of the United States in 2024, considered several prominent individuals as potential running mates. On August 6, 2024, she chose Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota as her candidate for vice president.
After formally accepting their nomination during the 2024 Democratic National Convention, Harris and Walz went on to lose the general election to the Republican ticket of former President Donald Trump and U.S. Senator JD Vance, and Walz returned to the governorship following the campaign.
