Within the next day, we should learn whether Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz lands the Democratic vice presidential nomination — or gets passed over for another candidate.
He has catapulted to the top tier of choices for Kamala Harris, the current vice president who will lead the party’s ticket in November. Harris deliberated over the pick Sunday in Washington, where Walz and other contenders reportedly sat for final interviews.
Walz abruptly canceled a trip to New Hampshire, where he was supposed to attend some Democratic Party rallies on Sunday. Multiple news outlets cited sources saying Walz had made his way to Washington for a face-to-face meeting with Harris. | |

The U.S. women powered to a dominant lead early in the 4-by-100 meter medley relay on Sunday. The only real question was whether the swimmers would shatter the world record set by another U.S. American team in 2019.
They never relented, winning gold and beating the record by nearly a second with a time of 3:49.63. The Americans finished more than three seconds ahead of the Australian team that took silver. Chinese women won bronze. | |
