I think Tim Walz would bring the most accessibility to non-Dem bluecollar working men & families. He's 'real' & the real deal. Good for the Harris Walz ticket win. Plus very experienced in governance that get's things done - for most people. People like him. He's not slick. He's just effective.
Harris-Walz!

HARRIS / WALZ 2024
Shapiro would be such a regretful pick with his past

[mikegardens]

'Choose Shapiro, win Pennsylvania. Choose Walz, win the White House!' 

(Saw this from someone else's comment and thought it was brilliant)

TIM WALZ IS THE GUY if you actually want to win in November.

[teddyshea]

Not Shapiro, too much baggage. Unions don’t like him; uncommitted either. If not Walz, then Beshear.

[russelnw]

Walz will help on social media. That’s the battleground today.

[RealBradMiller]

Balls to the Walz!! (Been fired from every campaign I've worked for and cannot for the life of me figure out why!)

[djburnette]

Tim walz for vp. He is op. He would seal the deal

[the_drosophila_melanogaster]

Walz always walz!!! He will unite left -liberal nd normees !!!! 💙

[gothwolf]

Progessives and young people hate Shapiro, unions hate Shapiro, teachers hate Shapiro, uncommitted people hate Shapiro, he has a growing list of scandals and bad stances on things. Why on Earth would you sacrifice every other state and fracture the party to MAYBE win PA. I'm also tired of this media narrative that you can only win PA with Shapiro on the ticket (or that picking him is a guaranteed win), as if he won't be voicing support for her either way. IDGAF where a president or VP is from, I care about their policies and how they talk to/about everyday people's issues, which Walz wins by a landslide followed by Beshear.

[georgewashington]

HARRIS / WALZ 2024


(hopefully not Shapiro)

[riflegurlsmom]

From Boston here! I think Governor Walz is so authentic and engaging - he is my fav! That said, I think all of the potential picks are great - we have lots of great Dems to choose from. I love Wes Moore too!

[hellomsquinn]

Harris/Walz all the way.

As for Pennsylvania being a must win, here is the voter >> registration << data for March 2024...

This information is much stronger than polling because if they don't register, their opinion or favorite doesn't matter because they're not voting, period.

Who has registered tells us they're at least willing to vote. Whether they ultimately do, who these are the ones who registered to vote. Their opinions are the only ones who

8, 681, 734 Total Registrations.

Registered As Democrat: 3, 893, 342 (44.85%)
Registered As Republican: 3, 475, 267 (40.03%)
Registered As Independent: 969, 270 (11.16%)
Registered As Other: 343, 855 (3.96%)

As of March this year, there were more Dem registrations than Rep registrations and seriously low Independent registrations.

Let's have fun math. If we presume in this example, all the Dems will vote for Kamala and all the Reps will vote for Trump, and we split the Independent votes evenly between them, and then we subtract the "other" registrations as those who won't vote for either of them or won't even vote at

4, 377, 977 - 171, 927.5 = 4, 206, 049.5
3, 959, 902 - 171, 927.5 = 3, 787, 974.5

Harris beats Trump in Pennsylvania with 418, 075 more votes.

Harris / Walz 2024

Harris doesn't need Shapiro on the ticket. Shapiro is liability and a risk on the ticket to be mitigated. He has no affinity to the Democratic base such as unions and seems unauthentic. Why someone with similar background. Tim Walz is a legislator, executive, articulate, and a balance to the ticket in every aspect. Harris/Walz team rocks and that's a winning ticket!

[janvierfrancisco]

"The Ticket is the for a MAJOR WIN in November!"
Thank you, Jesus! She did the right thing and with this she'll win big time!!
Tim Walz has all the things she needs in a VP and more School Teach, Military Veteran, former US Congressman, Winning State Champion Football Coach, Husband, great Dad, Great governor of Minnesota State. Tim Walz is everyday people and every adult has had a Tim Walz in their life in school growing up I did... He was Mr. Yack and all-around great teacher in high school and the township we all loved and appreciated him. Walz will do the very same for Harris, the Dems', and most of all America!

Shapiro on the other hand has serious baggage in many political areas, especially Israeli matters and his KKK remarks about pro-Palestinian protestor, sex scandal he's covering up to protect one of his male governor's aid, plus he actually thinks he's an Obama clone? NOT! Let's see if this article is correct....

Harris/Walz 2024 if Harris wants to secure to be behind the Resolute Desk!

Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz! Walz!
