she said:
Tim talks, he says things, and things are important. we need important things in our lives, thats why he says things, which are important things that might unburden us from what we really

[russchamberlain]

That is a strong camunacation. Between the speakers and the public. That = a connection.

[briangarrow]

Walz is a refreshing change from the usual insider pols that are chosen for the VP. The man has a real lifetime of doing what middle class Americans do. He’s one of us! Harris/Walz 2024

Good commentary. Hope the guy in the first clip recovers his voice after all the yelling he had to do.

[matemilas]

Country man with progressive view, like that

[mcflyfarm]

The Trump-Vance campaign is fueled by manufactured anger and fear (which is not sustainable). The Harris-Walz campaign is fueled by organic genuine excitement, hope and joy. Trump is toast.

teammate found, now hit the ground running not double guessing

[urkiddingme]

The choice of Walz was a surprise only to those who think political pundits have a clue about the American people. We who heard Walz speak and found him immediately likeable are thrilled with this choice. He was the best choice from a field of superb candidates.

Walz is the dad Vance wished he had 💀💀

[TRabbit]

Waltz has about as much “midwestern appeal” as Mao would in the Rhine.

[bltxlettuce]

Walz delivered for working families in MN and I look forward to him being our next VP

[JeffBilkins]

So what is your political breakthrough moment?
- I called them weird

[mrpepe]

As always dw news rapid decline is no surprise 😂

[lucasjames]

The Cop & the Coach versus the Convict & the Couch. LFG!!! ❤🪷🤍🏈💙

[drpangloss]

Anyone but Trump! But there’s plenty of fresh air around!

Harris didn't pick Kelly or Shapiro, since they were both more impressive than her.

[blademan]

He brings communist appeal to all the liberals 😂

[nuqwestr]

Walz has no "rural" vote roots, he won in urban areas in MN. DW has it wrong.

[Adik-nrhx]

I liked him a lot until I read he's a hunter.

[SmellyPajeet]

No to both Harris and Trump since they both support Israel
