The pick is in. Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday, thrusting the outspoken Midwestern statesman into the national spotlight while adding a key ally to her fast-moving campaign for the presidency. |

JD Vance. 👉 Here's everything we know. | Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, seen here, will be Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate for the 2024 election. Stephen Maturen, Getty Images |

Debby flooding swamps Southeast |
As Tropical Storm Debby continued its dayslong crawl through the Southeast on Tuesday, coastal areas from northern Florida to the Carolinas were inundated with rainfall, leaving streets underwater as officials ordered evacuations, conducted rescues and warned of a dam that was near failure. Forecasters say the conditions were only expected to worsen this week as the storm unleashes potentially "catastrophic" flooding across the region. Debby could dump 10-20 inches of rainfall through Friday, and some areas could receive up to 30 inches, the National Weather Service said. 🌀 See the full forecast. | An airboat carrying evacuees approaches dry land Monday afternoon in Sarasota Springs, Florida, following Tropical Storm Debby.
