While Gov. Tim Walz is not a political newcomer, he is relatively unknown nationally. NBC’s Hallie Jackson reports for TODAY with a closer look at Vice President Kamala Harris's choice for a running mate, including his policies, career and family.
Vice President Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate Tuesday morning — and he spoke at a Pennsylvania rally just hours later. One of the very personal topics he discussed was his family's experience with in vitro fertilization . 'When my wife and I decided to have children, we spent years going through infertility treatments,' he said in a video of the rally shared by AP. 'And I remember praying every night for a call for good news.
Although Walz described his very personal experience with IVF and reproductive medicine, he noted that infertility affects almost everyone in some way. In March, he posted on Facebook: 'Gwen and I have two beautiful children because of reproductive health care like IVF. This issue is deeply personal to our family and so many others.
