Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' vice presidential running mate, earns six figure salary as governor of Minnesota, but his net worth is on par with that of the typical American family, according to a federal disclosure form filed in August.
Walz's net worth is estimated at between $117,000 and $330,000, with most of his assets tied up in a retirement account, according to the document. That puts his net worth on par with the median U.S. household net worth of $193,000.
Walz is much less well off than Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance, a multimillionaire whose net worth stands between $4.8 million and $11.3 million. And Walz is miles behind Nelson Rockefeller, who in the 1970s was Veep under President Gerald Ford and who is regarded as perhaps the richest vice president in U.S. history by virtue of his family fortune.
Legalizing marijuana at the national level is generally popular with Americans — 57% of people say marijuana should be legal for both medical and recreational purposes, while 32% say it should be legal for medical use only, according to a January Pew survey. Only 11% of Americans said it shouldn't be legal at all. The issue is one presidents have largely ignored, but Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have talked about the issue during the 2024 campaign.
Pennsylvania is a key stop on the road to the White House and a major focus of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump's campaigns. During the past two presidential elections — 2016 and 2020 — the ultimate winner held a slim voter margin in the Keystone State, making it a top priority for both the Democratic and Republican candidates.
