Minnesota Governor Tim Walz lifted the curtain on his phonebook during his late-night debut on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," revealing the curious pseudonym he uses for his running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris. To the astonishment of host Kimmel, Walz confessed, "I put her contact name in my phone as 'My dry cleaner.'"
In response to Kimmel's query about the rationale behind the peculiar choice, Walz explained, "They told me to come up with something and that was all I could think of." The playful nature of the nickname adds a touch of levity to the serious political landscape.

When Kimmel posed the hypothetical scenario of his actual dry cleaner contacting him, Walz admitted he hadn't considered the possibility. Kimmel quipped, "Maybe you should update your dry cleaner's name to 'Madam Vice President.'"
Walz also regaled viewers with the amusing tale of how he initially dismissed Harris' call informing him of her selection as his running mate. Mistaking the unfamiliar number for a "car warranty thing," Walz disregarded the call until a "high-ranking aide" persuaded him to answer.

In the realm of campaign appearances, Walz and Harris have conducted a combined 31 interviews, while their opponents, former President Trump and his running mate JD Vance, have engaged in 69 interviews.
Walz's late-night appearance followed Harris' highly publicized interview on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, which has been met with mixed reactions. During the sit-down, Harris addressed contentious issues such as domestic violence and abortion, including the debunked claim of a woman dying in Georgia due to restrictive abortion limits.

Despite the divergent public opinions, Walz remains undeterred in his campaign efforts. His quirky nickname for Harris adds a touch of humor to the political discourse, as candidates gear up for the upcoming election.
