Summary

Nutrition label

76% Informative

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been chosen by Vice President Kamala Harris to be her running mate.

Conservatives have already been attacking Walz for his positions on immigration and policing.

But criminal justice reform advocates have praised some of the sweeping changes signed by Walz.

Walz also faced some criticism for how quickly he responded to protests in 2020 .

Walz was once a darling of gun rights groups, but now promotes stricter gun laws.

He signed a massive criminal justice bill that included a package of gun safety measures.

Walz also signed a law allowing Minnesotans , regardless of their immigration status, to obtain a driver's license.

Immigration has been a hot button issue during the presidential election.
