Former President Donald Trump indicated on Aug. 7 that he was surprised that Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, while adding that he’s planning on debating Harris and will make an announcement soon.

Before the Harris campaign confirmed Walz as her vice presidential pick, widespread speculation claimed that she might choose Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro or Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.).
