I was not familiar with Gov. Walz before the Pres. Biden situation. I like his way of communicating processes and ideas. This should not have surprised me. After all, he represents a state that gave us Target, Aveda, Room And Board, and Prince!!!

[Tom-emph]

This guy was a top NCO in the military he rocks

[ruth_gordon]

Walz is a wonderful leader. He'd be a FABULOUS pick for VP ❤🤍💙

[despicable]

He be a surprise but brilliant pick for VP imo. He can speak to Trump supporters in a language they'd relate to plus he has a fantastic state record.

[punky]

Articulate, down to earth, no B.S. I think he has a Harry Truman vibe about him.

[gretchenvanburen]

Walz as an Educator Progressive very comfortable answeing Questions remember He answered
Every question hopefully he is the VP pick Grassroots peoples VP pro union He cares good vibes

As one who grew up and spent most of his life in Minnesota, I am pleasantly surprised that "our" current governor, Tim Walz, is the clear, powerful speaker that he is. No other VP candidate is as articulate as he, especially in stating the Democratic agenda. Yes, Minnesota does offer the USA something special, besides great summers and "challenging" winters! :)

I picked Pete, however Walz is my 2nd pick!
He would be a good VP.

Walz Walz, Walz, you're the next Bernie, with your own unique personality, wit and charm. You are hands down the most "likeable" candidate of the vp picks. Walz is absolutely killing it when it comes to messaging. Your stellar record needs to be a blueprint and standard for all blue states. Cheering you on Tim Walz!!! Harris/Walz for the win!!

[kristieshaw]

WALZ has taken the lead and there is no other candidate!!!
We. Need. This. Voice.

He seems like a straight shooter. Answers questions clearly without any fluff. Former teacher, football coach and military background. Seems like he'd be great in a debate too. And it looks like he has tremendous respect for the women he works with. He should be the VP pick.

[letitiaraebadness]

WALZ ... WoW! He's coming across as a strong, opinionated leader with new and fresh ideas to GET OUR COUNTRY BACK from the fear and hatred of the Republican party. GO TIM! He'd be perfect for VP.

It's almost staggering to see a politician string a full sentence together that you wouldn't hear on Monday Night RAW

[Kimbe.kim]

Who is going to be the president Donald Trump 100🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[horseperson]

this pick showed her true colors and a big mistake. She is a mess and so glad she has this guy . Have similar ideas and they are not good

[NyquillaGorillaKilla]

The democrat party don’t deserve someone like this. He seems like a nice guy

[jjchan]

He just told us Biden was well a couple weeks ago. This guy is like a used car salesman.

[Ann]

💯No to Harris and her VP 💯Yes to Trump in November ❤️🇺🇸

[craigshriver]

I like Tim as a man and a person, and I have some serious reservations about him attaching himself to the absolute train wreck that this 2024 democrat presidential campaign has become. Tim, I beg you, don't get sucked in.

buddy that burst of energy is a sugar high and the crash will be nasty
