Kamala Harris picks Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as VP in US election

Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s candidate, has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in the United States presidential election, according to US media reports.
Harris, the first woman and first Black and South Asian person to serve as vice president, considered a broad field of candidates during a fast vetting process in the race for the White House, after President Joe Biden ended his re-election bid on July 21.
Walz, who was elected governor of Minnesota in 2018 and won re-election in 2022, would bring to the presidential ticket a record of defeating Republicans in a Midwestern state.
Harris will hold a major rally with her vice presidential pick later on Tuesday in Philadelphia in the swing state of Pennsylvania, followed by rallies in Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada through Saturday.
The duo will face off against the Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance in the November election.

Look at Walz’s past, he has cared more for Israel than America . America is truly a clown show .

He seems to have his feet firmly planted with his eyes on the horizon. Not the type who wants his face on Mount MAGA and his signature on the New Constitution. Now, the question; will this down to earth Democrat oppose the State Department and Israeli strategy of colonial control of the Middle East?

What does it it matter gaza is west israel now

Haha, Harris/Walz, that's the best Democrats can do. I dont see any hype, any enthusiasm, or any life. It's a dull picture with no American spirit or life. Good luck to them.
