Vice President Kamala Harris picks Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, three people say.

Walz is a military veteran and union supporter who helped enact an ambitious Democratic agenda for his state.

Harris hopes to shore up her campaign's standing across the upper Midwest , a critical region in presidential politics that often serves as a buffer for Democrats seeking the White House .

Walz has served often as a Biden-Harris surrogate, and has made increasingly frequent appearances on national television.

Putting Walz on the ticket could help Democrats hold the state's 10 electoral votes and bolster the party more broadly in the Midwest .

No Republican has won a statewide race in Minnesota since Tim Pawlenty was re-elected governor in 2006 .
