A number of progressives and left-leaning political figures have suggested that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz should be the Democratic vice presidential nominee.

Walz was the subject of a flurry of media attention over the last week , including glowing coverage in The Washington Post and The New York Times .

He's regarded as the most friendly to left and working-class causes of politicians known to be in the running.

Tim Walz used the word "weird" to describe Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance .

Walz's criticism of the Republican leaders went viral and was quickly picked up by Harris herself.

Harris is expected to announce her choice of running mate as early as Saturday .
