Kamala Harris selects Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be VP running mate

Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, according to multiple sources. The selection caps the Midwestern Democrat’s short but swift ascent from a relative unknown to a leading driver of the party’s attacks on Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda.

They're gonna build the Walz, big beautiful Walz, and the GOP's gonna pay for it.

Hate to lose him at home but glad that the rest of America gets to see what a competent, well-spoken, intelligent, compassionate, patriotic leader is. Go Coach!

Harris/Walz—bringing intelligence, decency, common sense, fairness, and leadership back to the White House. As a registered Republican, I will be happy to vote for Harris/Walz.

as an independent, dems have my vote now

He's the first governor, to proudly announce, he helped to make sure children had a good breakfast in school. It's about time we started helping children, rather than socialist tax breaks for billionaires.

Oh Someone who feeds hungry school children, what a monster!

We know have the happy ticket, a forever smiling Presidential candidate, 'the happy guy' Vice Presidential candidate and the result, a lot of happy voters. From an independent AZ voter, I say great pick, Kamala-mala for President.

I'm a registered Republican in Minnesota and I am/was very happy with him as our Governor!

I never heard of Tim Walz before, but just recently heard him talk. Wow, what a good, decent, genuine, down to earth, positive person, who speaks in terms I can understand and connect with. I'm excited to hear more of what he has to say.

HELL

The HARRIS CAMPAIGN keeps making all the right

Conservatives tryna convince THEMSELVES this was a bad choice is HILARIOUS 🍿

[Subher]

It's over for Trump. Walz was her best possible pick.

[Grateful]

Reading the positive comments gives me hope that I haven’t felt in a very long time. Bravo ❤

[kristieshaw]

YES!!!! WALZ, THE SCHOOL TEACHER, IS THE PEOPLES

[annafrancisdimka]

MN person here: Walz is just a solid, decent, moral, everyday man. He's exactly 180° from Trump or Vance and we sane people adore him in MN.

I'm a Minnesotan and during my senior year of high school, Tim Walz visited my government class and gave a talk. Funniest thing about it was one of my classmates in the front row fell asleep, and a photographer for the local newspaper caught it on camera and it was in the paper. Walz seemed like a good normal guy to me. Friendly and professional kind of guy was the impression I got.

He was an NCO in the Army National Guard of Minnesota. 24 years, Top achieved the rank of Command Sergeant Major. And he was on the Veteran Affairs Committee. His firsthand experience gives him a deep understanding of the challenges faced by military personnel and veterans. He is an advocacy for veterans’ rights and benefits. A citizen soldier and brother in arms...where the hell do I sign on at.

[EthanJ]

Look at what he accomplished with a ONE SEAT majority, he was absolutely the right choice.

[iamteamthinkbig]

As a Veteran, a Mississippi country boy, I love this pick! He will beat the stew out of J.D. Vance in a debate!

[Ambrosha]

never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined an ideal pick with little fear-based number calculating concerns that would typically have led to Shapiro. Shows her powerful deision making is not fear-based. Beyond thrilled - Love him ever since learning about him days ago, and who wouldn't!

Lots of positive energy and enthusiasm. In contrast, the Trump campaign seems focused on attacks and bitterness. The Trump rally in Atlanta was an appalling HateFest.
