He let Minnesota burn and didn't pick up the phone to call the national guard. He's also far left, not a centrist candidate. That will be a big mistake.

Tim Walz is so relatable. He has a golden attribute called empathy. He 'gets' people. He's a win. Thank you, Kamala, for choosing him. I can but imagine that you work well together.

Phenomenal choice. Shapiro would’ve damaged the ticket, Walz only makes it better. Harris/Walz 2024🎉

[robertoates]

A solid choice, shows she is serious about union workers.

Great Choice by Kamala Harris. We need these 2 running America. Reject the Project 2025 Trump/Vance craziness. VOTE BLUE 💙 for Women's Rights and American Democracy

Wonderful choice! Go Harris/Walz 2024 🎉🎉🎉💙🇺🇸💙

Great choice! And Amy Klobuchar can be your next governor!❤😊

Just to be clear, when the left says a convicted felon should not be allowed to hold office, does that include the convicted felon named Tim Walz?

[sharkbites]

Great pick! I also love Andy B. Overall this is a smart pick! Let’s go

*Harris / Walz 2024*
Must be a great choice because I see that MAGA is already climbing the walls (Walz).

Picked a guy that pretty much abandoned his troops after finding out he’s being deployed to Iraq. Good choice

[dallasjamison]

Walz is whip-smart, beloved by Minnesota voters for his many bipartisan accomplishments and a plainspoken voice of reason. He'll attract uncommitted voters and queasy Trumpers. Harris-Walz 2024! 💙 🇺🇸

I'm glad Harris picked Walz. He's the one I liked the most out of the candidates that were in the mix.

[ArizonaSquatch]

Farmer. Veteran. Family man. Adult. Small town ideals.

[hopscotchcn]

Walz is a wise choice--well-rounded education, civil & military experience, rational thinker, politically accomplished. Demonstrates good judgment by Harris.

[EV-rcjm]

Such a great man, decent man, so down to earth, I just love him!!!! ❤GREAT CHOICE, KAMALA/WALZ 2024💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 He is definitely not WEIRD😉

[kristieshaw]

WALZ IS THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE!!!! THE SCHOOL TEACHER! THE FOOTBALL COACH!
WE ARE NEVER GOING BACK!!!!

[abbip]

What are Harris/Waltz concrete strategies for tackling inflation and securing the border? Constantly repeating "defeating Donald Trump" isn't a plan. The other side is out there, giving detailed press briefings and answering hard questions. These feel-good rallies are pointless without substance.

[brianjones]

Great Pick. Can't say anything bad about Walz

This is what UNITY of PEOPLE looks like... as opposed to Unity of party.
