And despite what Donald Trump says, the Vice President DOES matter

8:00 I find it ridiculous at the people who think providing school children breakfast and lunches is radical but not forcing them to carry and give birth to their rapists babies is not?..

[theREALsum]

I thought Tim or Pete and I'm glad she picked one of them. Everyone saying she should pick Shapiro to win Philly. He can still rally for her.

[visitingprof]

Okay folks. Minnesota is ALSO on the border.

[kristieshaw]

WALZ!!!! YES! HE IS THE PEOPLES CHOICE! THE SCHOOL TEACHER! THE FOOTBALL COACH!
WE ARE NEVER GOING BACK!

[DonnaMcDonald-ngvb]

He down home 🏘️ not a fake politicians like the rest of them.

[doubleseven]

McKaskill said it - Walz is "the guy Vance is PRETENDING to be". RIGHT.

[mexx]

Congratulations! So happy for Gov. Tim Walz is the right choice for VP Candidate! I am from Minnesota and I can tell Walz is doing a great job. VP Kamala Harris made an incredible choice.
Voting Harris & Walz all the way 💙💙💙
Let's go America! Let's save our Democracy, our country 🇺🇸

I wanted the Pennsylvania governor. But she knew want was best for the country. Great Job Kamala.

[vernaj]

Love this guy, these are weird people thank you Gov Tim Walz

[topsingles]

This is Kamala Harris's first major decision. She has made a solid pick. Walz has a background that appeals to working class and rural voters, and to progressives, in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin.He is a moderate with a wealth of experience.

[Blue-kefu]

He is from a red district. He can get the job done and was the best choice hands down. He’s a great communicator.

[sleuthjill]

Tim Walz was my personal choice. Great selection.

[DARWINZOO]

Will diaper Don say he only turned white recently?

[DJS]

Walz can bring in Republicans who are sick of Trump. He can campaign, he can legislate, and he can help govern.

Bravo! That was the only choice for the people. A people choice “not” an elitist, elitist media, and Wall Street choice. I am so happy as I taught the elitist part of the party were going to take over this process. Mr. Walz is the best communicator of the bunch and can relate with everyone and with a sense of humour. This is going to keep the enthusiasm hot and upfront with young people especially. Bravo one of the best decision I’ve seen the party finally take in a long time.

"Mind your own business. Mind your own family 👏🏽👏🏽"

[scotts]

Great observation from Claire: "Tim Walz is the guy JD Vance is pretending to be." Democrats should repeat that line from now until November.

[vvondermann]

“This is the guy J.D. Vance is pretending to be” she ended that man’s entire career with that one 😂😂😂

[jimbrew]

Walz is sharp and well-spoken like Obama. Optimistic, tough, and joyful... a hunter and firearm owner but not a gun nut. Great choice.
