By selecting Minnesota's governor, Tim Walz, as her running mate on Tuesday, Kamala Harris put Mr. Trump one step closer to being proved right.
While it's true that most vice-presidential nominees don't have a major impact, they often help the ticket in the vice-presidential nominee's home state.
Vice President Harris was considering an unusually strong slate of options from key states, and the polls are close enough for one or two points to be decisive.
Most vice-presidential nominees are selected with other considerations in mind, like bringing balance to the ticket or adding a governing partner, rather than solely focusing on electoral impact.
