How Tim Walz could impact Kamala Harris campaign EL PAÍS USA EDITION

Dear readers,  ‌ After much anticipation, Kamala Harris announced her running mate on Tuesday: Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota who jumped onto the national radar after calling Donald Trump and J. D. Vance "just weird." Democrats are hoping his traditional roots, military background and funny personality will appeal to voters, while the Republicans have been quick to paint him as a dangerous radical.  ‌ Meanwhile in Mexico, questions continue to be raised about the arrest of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of the notorious drug trafficker El Chapo. Almost two weeks after the arrest of the Sinaloa Cartel capos, Mexico still does not know precisely how the two ended up on a plane that landed in Texas.  ‌ In other news, tensions are running high in the Spanish region of Catalonia, where the former premier Carles Puigdemont returned after years on the run. The politician faces charges over his involvement in the 2017 Catalan separatist bid.  ‌ And finally, we spoke to Josh Homme, the founder of Queens of the Stone Age, about the  "five hellish years" that led to the band's album In Times New Roman. ‌ We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS English Edition. ‌ ‌
