Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has been chosen as Kamala Harris' running mate in her presidential campaign, is known for his passion for cars. Following the announcement of Walz as the VP candidate, supporters shared videos of him on social media, including a past get-out-the-vote clip where he criticizes Ford for employing subpar components in the 2014 Edge. He demonstrates a cost-effective fix for the issue, suggesting that Ford Edge owners replace just the connector and use shrink wrapping to splice it with the headlight, a quick and safe repair.
As reported by The Autopian, Walz is the proud owner of a 1979 International Scout and also has a dog named Scout. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reveals that the governor enjoys working on his Scout, and the vehicle's license plate, ONE MN, is linked to a campaign slogan. If the Harris campaign succeeds, Walz would join a line of car-loving American Vice Presidents, including President Biden, who cherishes his 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, a gift from his wedding.
Walz's Scout wouldn't be the only unconventional 4x4 in the collection of American politicians; Ronald Reagan notably had a Subaru BRAT on his California ranch. This highlights that enthusiasm for cars transcends political affiliations.
