Walz mentioned to Harris, \u201cI\u2019m at the end of my career. This is not about me. This is about America\u2019s working families,\u201d according to Politico. An unnamed source indicated that Walz made these comments during an interview on Sunday night at the Naval Observatory while sitting across from Harris. He reportedly stated, \u201cAnd if I have to run through a brick wall, if I have to do the hard things, I\u2019m willing to do it because I\u2019m not seeking anything else.\u201d The report noted that his \u201clow ego\u201d and \u201cdutiful approach\u201d helped him stand out as a favorable choice in the eyes of Harris&#8217;s team compared to other candidates.
