CHICAGO (Reuters) -Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' running mate in the 2024 White House race against Republican Donald Trump, will take the stage at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night in his first high-profile national address.

Harris plucked Walz, 60, out of relative national anonymity to be her vice presidential candidate only 15 days ago. Harris herself only entered the race a month ago when President Joe Biden quit the Nov. 5 election campaign.
