Walz seems so much more likable than Shapiro!

[jessetorres]

Reminder: Minnesota is arguably the Bluest state in the country because they have gone the longest without voting for a Republican for President since the last time it happened was Nixon's re-election in 1972.

[EricGyamfighettotastic]

[virginialuisa]

Thank you...just cinched my vote from abroad!

[ejbdoqv]

Man I would I never have thought that Waltz would be her pick! I would have bet the farm on Shapiro! Anyway it's all good we will win the election !

[tamaragerkin]

Shapiro would have been a great choice, only I really like that Walz has no baggage, has a stellar background and is an excellent choice for VP!

Tim doesn’t mince words and tells it like it is,

[RH-sbco]

Walz will have much appeal to WI voters. 💯👤🇺🇲

[TbarRocks]

He looks older than Trump and only 60??

[fauziatahiry-zwoq]

We want RFK to be able to debate. We don’t want media and democrats to block our candidates. RFK RFK

Good to see 'Bidenomics' working with her support!

[RonX-hd]

What a beautiful family Walz has. Make America NORMAL Again.

[janetbrodesser]

That Harris has such a deep pool of exceptionally intelligent and good people to choose a VP from, who might consent to work with her, proves her own abilities. Trump had only yes- men and climbers.

What ever happened to the News REPORTING News instead of entertaining guessing???

[johannaecheverrylopez]

Wouldn't it be a shock if she selected another woman

[Kiki-envm]

Tim is a great guy, a regular guy, like one of us, not arrogant and rascist, and feel others pain.

Bravo! That was the only choice for the people. A people choice not an elitist and Wall Street hick. I am so happy as I taught the elitist part of the party we’re 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.

Good choice! As a life long Minnesotan (I'm 71 yrs old) Tim has proved himself a proven leader for the common working class. VOTE BLUE
