Such an easy choice. Prosecutor vs Criminal. 34 years public service vs 34 felonies. We're not going back 💙💙Harris Walz💙💙

More of the same... When he was in the House. Tim Walz sponsored the Act that directed the VA to study Traumatic Brain Injury. He was also the House sponsor of the Act requiring the VA to focus on suicidal rates among veterans.

We can use more of that same.

As time goes on Harris besides proving to understand the political arena extremely well, is also proving herself an astute, and extremely intelligent stategist. I am totally impressed. If she runs the country like she runs her campaign we will all be the better off for it.

Absolutely Brilliant Pick by soon to be 'Madam President Kamala Harris'..! (VETERANS FOR HARRIS)

0:07 The former governor of Minnesota Tim Pawlenty (also Republican) thinks Walz is a really great guy! 😊 Stop making this a red vs blue issue.

I don’t care about Lawmakers reaction. My first reaction is to want to see the reaction from youtube comments

[vietnamvet]

Let me guess they love it, just like the media.

[kimchee]

Tim Walz must be pretty good at Venn Diagrams.

[RuachsWisdom]

What happened to that $240 m, missing from Minn. C-19 fund?
Wait till the Rocks and Cows find out.lol

[frankmendez]

She did not pick him just like Joe didn't pick her...

[stuvo]

Would you expect a Republican to say anything positive about Walz?

[joelrotiago]

What planet is this woman living on?? This ticket is psychotic!!

[Bob-cxze]

Ah, yes. The governor who let his state burn. I have no doubt he'll do the same for the country.
