Governor Tim Walz signed a bill to raise the minimum pay for Uber and Lyft drivers in the state.
He signed the bill into law that would raise pay for drivers by an estimated 20 percent .
Walz proved deft at handling the issue, signaling that he was willing to compromise while also keeping progressive groups at the table.
Gov. Walz 's deal with Uber and Lyft was criticized for his dismissive attitude toward smaller rideshare companies that wanted to fill the vacuum.
The deal was not without its critics, but it was set aside when Harris announced Walz as her pick.
It's unclear whether Walz ’s involvement in any way played a role in his selection as vice presidential nominee.
