Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, wagering that a former red-district congressman with a progressive streak can help her win over working-class voters in battleground states needed to beat Donald Trump in November.
“The entire country is about to see why their friends from Minnesota can’t stop bragging about Governor Walz,” Minnesota DFL Party Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “By picking a servant leader born and raised in a small town who has dedicated his career to protecting freedoms and lifting up working families, Vice President Harris has chosen the perfect foil for [Trump running mate] JD Vance and his politics of resentment.”
it’s another tim kaine moment; someone who has all the right qualities but no celebrity outside his pocket of the country and won’t help budge the election needle.
Shapiro would have been a bad and divisive choice. Walsh was the best of the bunch and I’m absolutely stunned that she picked him.
Pelosi has been publicly pushing hard for Walz
“I wasn’t familiar with your game” moment lmao
Her removing Biden and getting Walz is all pretty decent tbh. Way better than the norm of Hilldog Dems failing constantly
