Tim Walz at The Big House:





Walz visits the Big House while helping launch ‘Athletes for Harris’

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, marked the launch of “Athletes for Harris” with a Saturday visit to the University of Michigan, where he attended the Wolverines’ home football game against the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers.

The Harris campaign announced Saturday that Earvin “Magic” Johnson, a former Michigan State Spartan and NBA Hall of Famer, would be a captain of “Athletes for Harris.”

“I have known Vice President Harris for over 25 years, and you can count on her to deliver on what she says she is going to do. She’ll be a President for all people, no matter the race, language, sexual orientation, or party line,” Johnson said.

“For all of the athletes out there, don’t be afraid to use your platforms – we need all of you to get involved,” Johnson said. “The Magic Man is on board.”
