He turned a red district blue and kept getting re-elected. Walz’s rural origins and appeal are another source of balance and strength. A U.S. House member for 12 years, Walz repeatedly won re-election in the kind of rural area where Dems have been getting killed in recent years.

He’s a Midwestern governor who could help nail down the “Blue Wall” states of Wisconsin, Michigan and probably Pennsylvania. And Walz was born in a tiny town of 400 people in Nebraska.
