Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, the new Democratic duo, are relying on a campaign of good mood to set themselves apart from the gloomy image of the Trump era. The mix of 'Minnesota Nice' and aggression is intended to appeal to voters like the elderly and rural residents.

Harris's 2024 presidential bid excites the party, with her potential to become the first female and second Black US president. She has added Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate, who is an advocate for electric vehicles.

Walz's coaching background is seen as an asset by North Carolina high school football coaches, who believe his skills can translate to successful leadership. However, Walz has faced criticism for misstating his military service and views on gun control.

Harris needs to win Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to reach 270 Electoral votes, and faces challenges in matching Biden's Latino support and potential changes to Nebraska's Electoral College system.

Vance, who has received oil/gas industry funding and introduced the anti-EV "Drive American Act". Elon Musk supports Vance, while Walz aims to grow EV adoption in Minnesota.
