Minnesota Now

There is a lot of excitement in the Democratic party about the Harris-Walz ticket. And it is a big day for Governor Walz, who will accept his nomination for VP Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention. We hear a live report from Chicago.

But what are the Harris/Walz policy priorities? We talk to a Minnesota state representative about how their stances on the national level may mirror what Walz has done in Minnesota.

With less than 24 hours until the gates open at the Minnesota State Fair, we hear from the fair police chief about safety and check in on the fair forecast.

Minnesota Paralympian Melissa Stockwell joins us from France with the games just a week away.
