Nebraska bound: Harris running mate Tim Walz to visit 2nd District

OMAHA — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will be flexing his Big Red roots on Saturday. He has scheduled a visit to Omaha two weeks after Vice President Kamala Harris picked him as her running mate, the Examiner has learned.

The Harris campaign is poised as early as Wednesday to announce the stop in Nebraska’s swing 2nd Congressional District, where candidates from both major political parties have won its stray Electoral College vote twice in recent elections.

Details on the time and venue for the visit have not been released, but a text to Democratic supporters and candidates in the state on Tuesday said to be ready for “a rally with a special guest from the Harris Walz campaign” on Saturday afternoon.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the event have said in recent days that Walz — a Nebraska native — is the guest. Nebraska Democratic Party chair Jane Kleeb would not verify the Examiner’s reporting on who is coming but confirmed that someone is.
