People don’t realize how respected a sergeant major is in the military. Even in the reserve.

That's my Governor.! Walz to many who don't know him is a everyday, hard working, can sit at a bar and strike a conversation with man. He is a genuine dude who I know has integrity and a commitment to family and the lives of everyone he is around. This is from a average everyday black man here in MN. I'm all in for this ticket and if you value governance over politics you should be also.

Excellent!!! This is the man that people will respect and listen to. Tells it like it is in short, direct, plain-spoken words. He doubles up on common sense and has a sense of humor spark. He can "teach" and "preach" about the policies he's put forth ---- helping the common working person and the parents with kids.

I feel like I literally just met Walz, he is so warm, yet tough and no nonsense. He is exactly what we need on our leadership team to guide the country.

Excellent, excellent, excellent! I’m a Midwest guy and was taught and coached by veterans and exemplary Americans like Walz. I remember men like him who weren’t my father but called me “son” and corrected my behavior and guided my character. You couldn’t fool them about who you really were, they could pick out a thief, a liar and a bully from a crowd and put them in their place. Great pick!

I'm a North Dakota native living in Colorado for the past 50+ years; am very proud of our neighbor Minnesota's governor and Democratic VP candidate! A down to earth, no nonsense compassionate man will be a GREAT VPOTUS!

I love that she chose a Teacher, A Veteran and someone who is for the people. Harris/Walz 2024!

[jimmyrustled]

Been a Republican since 1988 and I am not only voting blue but I am actually excited to vote for the first time in 10+ years.

Super proud of our Governor, this was a smart pick, she really had no bad choices, they all brought something to the table, Walz is the right VP candidate at this time, and he fills in the blanks for her, he knows how to govern and get things done working with people, he isnt controversy and he is the most relatable politician we have seen in some time. He is truly a genuine person. From being a school teacher to a Vice Presidential candidate should be inspiring to a lot of people.

Walz seems like a genuinely good man. A competent, experienced, successful legislator. Something trumpers won't recognize

[bbhjh]

Walz seems to have experienced it all! From the classrooms to the military to the governor, etc! From the grassroots to the White House! Touched by every strata of society! What better match! May God be with them & America also! 🇺🇸

I like him. Former educator. Strong personality. Smart. No-nonsense.

[zibelder]

Walz is the perfect choice. However he is NOT plain but HUMBLE! There’s a big difference.

[lizp]

Love that she chose a teacher, a veteran, and a true-blue Democrat from the Midwest. Go Harris/Walz 2024!

Biden is ultimately the Hero in this whole story. For him to step down for the greater good of this country makes me have so much respect for him.

[epincion]

An honest man who could not be a greater contrast to the characters of Trump and Vance

[lauramathews]

Let's get School Lunches for all K-12 nationally. The idea that school lunch debt can even exist in this country is absurd.

[casanovafrankenstein]

As someone who lives in Minnesota, I am sad to see him go. But he'll do great.

Not "over 20 years" but "almost 30 years" service, the highest enlisted rank of any member to have served in Congress, 12 years.

They will save our country, our democracy from evils.
