2:50 pm
an impact on social media recently. describing the former president donald trump and his running matejd vance as weird. well, analysts say that the minnesota governor was chosen to help boost the power of the democrats, especially amongst rural, white voters. the pores are suggesting that she has now close the gap with donald trump since presidentjoe biden pulled out of the race to the white house. so, what we know about the man who could be the united states next vice president? well, he was born in the state of nebraska in 1964 and worked as a schoolteacher he was elected to the us house of representatives in 2007 and served until 2019 before moving on to higher officer — becoming the governor of minnesota that year.
2:51 pm
let's speak to our correspondent nomia iqbal he was definitely one of the frontrunners, if not the frontrunner in this race to become to pick as her running mate. so, no huge surprise but what you think it will do for her campaign? for the white house, to have him on the ticket with her? i house, to have him on the ticket with her? ., house, to have him on the ticket with her? ~ , , ., , with her? ithink, essentially, it balances out — with her? ithink, essentially, it balances out a _ with her? ithink, essentially, it balances out a ticket _ with her? ithink, essentially, it balances out a ticket if - with her? ithink, essentially, it balances out a ticket if you - with her? ithink, essentially, it| balances out a ticket if you think about it. he, to be honest wasn't seen as the big favourite up until a day or so ago, it was largely seen as the governor of pennsylvania. i remember this contest has really been sped up. if you think about how long it took donald trump to announce his vp pick, jd vance, kamala harris has had less than two weeks, joe biden dropped out over two weeks ago so she's really had frightful time to pick his vp. just
2:52 pm
go back to your question, he is essentially someone you can balance out the ticket. he has his folksy demeanour about him, which can connect with rural voters, the working class voters in a way that perhaps kamala harris might not be able to. she spent much of her career in the deep blue state of california. he is someone that has really been doing the right like all of the candidates have and always, it is like the public audition, and he was one of the first republicans to hone the specific line of attack, sorry, democrats against the republicans what she had been calling them weird. that is really offended lot of them, it struck a nerve and so he is someone that can bring that experience, he is only a year older than kamala harris, he six years of age but as i say he can bring that kind of midwestern style to the ticket. essentially, balancing it out and appealing to a
2:53 pm
much more wides, wide a range of voters. harris is due to arrive here in pennsylvania later today with his vp pick to start a week long tour of battleground states.— vp pick to start a week long tour of battleground states. thank you very much, i'm battleground states. thank you very much. i'm sure _ battleground states. thank you very much, i'm sure we _ battleground states. thank you very much, i'm sure we will _ battleground states. thank you very much, i'm sure we will hear - battleground states. thank you very much, i'm sure we will hear more . much, i'm sure we will hear more from you when she does arrive there. let's talk do you agree with what she was just saying. that she does balance out that ticket? it is she wasjust saying. that she does balance out that ticket?— balance out that ticket? it is what we look at — balance out that ticket? it is what we look at only — balance out that ticket? it is what we look at only look _ balance out that ticket? it is what we look at only look at _ balance out that ticket? it is what we look at only look at balance. l we look at only look at balance. your coverage is accurate, when it comes to, from nebraska, he is a child of a schoolteacher, he became a schoolteacher, he has military experience. all of these things resonate in the states that vice presidents kamala harris needs to when to become president. and includes minnesota, wisconsin, michigan, they are all pro military,
2:54 pm
they are very pro—america in the classic sense. he adds to that ticket. now, when it comes down to it, looking at his racket, you can make a plausible argument that he is more progressive than the vice president., so in this balancing act you need to ask yourself what is it that the vice presidents are looking for? the vice president knows that this is a bit of the vote campaign. so, this is not a turn republicans into democratic democratic through republicans, there are enough democrats to vote for a democratic president like vice president harris. i believe that he does that. when it looks at the field, clearing up when it looks at the field, clearing up the field from other people such as shapiro, who was another favourite, but the type of tie somatic messaging that is happening because of him is very alarming and may have balanced the ticket back to
2:55 pm
walsh, he can help her win this ticket. now is the messaging are not only finding out who kamala harris is because she has only been vice president, she has been a us senator and an attorney general for united states. but, her policies are not out there. they are different to joe biden, now we have him because he that she is becoming more progressive and into a moderate centre. so, we will see that how this plays out after the announcement comes from the vice president and the new vice president pick. president and the new vice president ick. , , president and the new vice president ick. �* , ., president and the new vice president ick. , . , , president and the new vice president pick. just a few seconds because we're nearly _ pick. just a few seconds because we're nearly at _ pick. just a few seconds because we're nearly at the _ pick. just a few seconds because we're nearly at the end - pick. just a few seconds because we're nearly at the end of - pick. just a few seconds because we're nearly at the end of the i we're nearly at the end of the programme, what is the latest state of play in terms of the opinion polls in those battleground states? the biggest one would be georgia, and there you have two rallies that have been back to back. one with vice president harris who had a packed full stadium are people who, and celebrities galore including two senators. then you had donald trump uk men and insulted one of the most
