Kamala Harris selects Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be VP running mate

Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate as she gears up for a November faceoff against former President Donald Trump. This decision, confirmed by two sources familiar with the matter, introduces a new dynamic to the 2024 presidential race.

 

Walz, 60, emerged as a dark horse contender for the vice-presidential slot amid early speculation about other high-profile names, including Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. However, Walz's profile surged over the past week, particularly after a viral cable news interview where he criticized some Republicans as “weird,” a line of attack that national Democrats subsequently adopted.

 

Walz's selection is seen as a strategic move, given his liberal credentials and the perception that he is a safer choice compared to other contenders who have faced criticism from various segments of the left. Shapiro, for instance, has been scrutinized for his response to pro-Palestinian protests following the Israel-Hamas conflict, while both he and Kelly have faced backlash from union leaders.

 

Moreover, Walz brings geographical appeal, hailing from a Midwestern state that Trump has increasingly targeted. Although Biden won Minnesota by 7 points in 2020 and no Republican has secured a presidential victory there in over 50 years, Trump and his running mate JD Vance have intensified their campaign efforts in the state, aiming to flip it in the upcoming election.

 

Walz’s liberal bona fides and his recent rise in prominence make him a compelling choice for Harris as she prepares to challenge Trump in what promises to be a highly contentious election. His ability to appeal to Midwestern voters and his alignment with national Democratic strategies position him as a key player in the Harris campaign's efforts to secure victory in November.

Walz let Minneapolis burn for 3 or 4 days in the 2020 Summer of Love and mostly peaceful city burnings before calling in the Guard.  Then Kamala raised bail money for the burners.

The response so far to this news from Trump supporters (both foreign and domestic) is rather lack luster.

Heavy sigh . . . what-aboutism. We could go all the way back to Adam and Eve and blame Eve for damning the entire human race, OR we could stick to current events.

 

You got a beef with Harris? Bring it on. Leave the history where it belongs - in the past.

No the beef isn't with Harris. It's who put her there and who will be running her and her underling. Obama has a hand in the trash. He's driving the garbage truck but he may not own all of it!

Different strategy from Trump. He choose someone similar to himself, she someone to complement.

Once the American public see and hear him with their own eyes and ears he is a lot more Coach Walz than what they're trying to make him out to be. I think she hit it out of the park with this pick.

That support may well vanish like frost in the sun. The bounce she got was from replacing the guy with cognitive problems, and it's still a long way till November. IMO she is the reason people may change their minds as she is IMO basically unlikeable. Just imagine if you will the King of Saudi meeting her. If she starts cackling he might think Biden should have tried to win.

Meeting the King? No reason for that. Perhaps you mean meeting that scowling dismemberer Crown Prince MBS.  If the US has a  reason to do so  will be in a proper diplomatic setting under a  Harris administration.

Fantastic choice.

 

Can’t wait to see him debate Vance.

 

 

 

HAHAHAHA....

 

The guy is NO BRAINIAC.....which is itself an UNDERSTATEMENT....!!!

 

He was accepted into his first college which is OPEN ADMISSION, and therefore anyone is admitted with no more than proof of high-school graduation.

 

He has some sort of trash-degree in the Social Sciences, which actually means not much science, in terms of anything resembling Physics, Biochem...the Natural Sciences.

 

In a debate, Vance will wipe the floor with this tub of lard.

 

Just my prediction.

 

Al Gore was smarter than this guy, for sure!

 

Al Gore Education:

 

Al Gore and Clinton knew a lot more about computer cables than does the SALAD WOMAN....

 

Here they are installing computer cables at a school....

 

Al Gore for Vice President !!!!
