Walz has an Indigenous Lt Governor. I am an Indigenous grandmother and 3rd generation Indigenous veteran. So excited! He is able to partner with a woman of color with greatest of ease.

I don't get what the concerns are about "far left" policies. I have never really heard the MAGAs discuss, in any serious way, any policies. Schreeching "far left" and "radical liberals" is not an argument, it is simply name calling, which is about all they have to offer.

Gotta give her credit for not just going with the pick that the cable news talking heads kept pushing.

He did not call Republicans weird, he called Trump and Vance weird. In fact he went out of his way to say the Republicans that support Trump are just like members of his family. Journalism needs work here

LOL she doesn't pick the Pennsylvania candidate, then goes and holds a rally in ..Pennsylvania! Truly, she is a genius of another order.

So, fellow citizens of America, are you okay with not voting in your Country's leaders.

What other things will the citizens not have a voice on.

Are you really okay with losing your rights. How is this a good thing for you.

Finally a politician who is able to speak in full sentences, is humbled and gives credit to his fellow politicians. Such a refreshing contrast to the self centered, racist and weird gibberish talking orange man on the other side.🤢🤮
Thank you President Joe Biden for bringing the “Joy and Hope” back to America!
Harris/Walz 2024 🗳️💙

He is definitely smart. He left his National Guard Unit right before they got deployed to Iraq.

Lady, if you need glasses, just wear them.

I'm excited about this ticket! Walz has the experience, compassion & optimism I was looking for. He's produced for the fine people of Minnesota, & he has strong appeal to young & progressive voters, as well as union supporters. He''ll help Kamala Harris unite the party & get us out of this weird hateful Trump deathstar.

Thanks to Kamala, my 401k has been unburdened by what has been

[RosalindSingleton-wx]

Thank God for decent hardworking politicians who care for the people.

Kamala chose well. Walz served in the National Guard for 24 years. He is a gun owner and a hunter but he doesn't believe in military grade weapons on America's streets or in America's schools. He was a High School teacher, a football coach, a member of Congress, and currently he is Minnesota's Governor. As Governor, he supported the rights of women in Minnesota to make their own health care decisions and he signed a law that gave free breakfasts and lunches to all school children. Walz supports LGBTQ rights and America's veterans. Walz comes from small town America - Nebraska - where people learned to not put other people down and they learned to mind their own business rather than try to control others.

Why can't we just support the vice president Harris' decision?

[gw]

Inside the decision? She was ordered to. End of story.

[Dom_]

Let me guess...the ENTIRE msm is going to convince you why its the best pick ever

[XYZAudiio]

Why don't they show some footage of Walz actually speaking?

[kimcoates]

Great choice! Have you heard this man speak?? His style is putting verbs into his sentences & take no prisoners! No time at all for GOP BS. 🇺🇸💙

[jeffreyboyd]

When is Kamala Harris going to appear in person on Face the Nation?

He's the perfect male Karen socialist
