Tim Walz remained silent when pressed on his stance about eliminating the Electoral College, after the Harris campaign said his viewpoint was not an official campaign policy position.

The Democratic vice presidential nominee wants to replace the Electoral College with a popular-vote system. Oddly enough, Donald Trump agrees.

In the United States, a candidate becomes president not by winning a majority of the national popular vote but through a system called the Electoral College, which allots electoral votes to the 50 states and the District of Columbia largely based on their population.
