If Chris Krispy says it’s a bad choice, it’s a great f’ing choice.

I'm not even American but this duo is more viable than Mr. Drama n chaos.

I'll bet Trump wishes Joe Biden was back on the ticket.

In most countries, being progressive or liberal are good attributes. Only Americans have made them derogatory terms.

"make american happy again"..slava american..🙏

🎉🎉😂❤❤❤ I love it. What a crowd! She didn't have to pay people to be there.

He seems like all my relatives from Minnesota. "Minnesota Nice" very approachable.
A veteran, a teacher, a coach in other words a real person with normal real life experiences.

IM THRILLED & FIRED IN THIS COMBINATION👍👏👏👏👏👏👏 THIS GUY TIM WALZ IS SO LIVELY WITH FULL OF AWESOMENESS🎉🎉🎉🎉🤩🤩✨✨✨✨

Tim Walz reminds me of Don Rickles. He has similar timing in his delivery and mannerisms. Let's hope they can win and get the USA back on track. Defeat the weirdos.

I love that she picked a teacher, a communicator, former military, rural background & a true-blue Democrat with midwestern values. It just doesn't get any better. Someone wake me up if I am dreaming…
Vote HARRIS WALZ 2024 🇺🇸

[ChosenOne]

Tim Walz checks all the boxes, white male, military, gun owner, older, married 26 years, etc etc.. he is hard to beat. He can be President himself.

I truly wish that we’d get rid of the labels “progressive” and “liberal” reforms. Probably 85% of the reforms deemed progressive are things that Americans want and should have been in place years ago! Let’s call them Decency Reforms because that’s exactly what they are, not some kind of ridiculous asking! 🌊🇺🇸💙

No match..kamala is a much much better speaker than "by a lot" trump..

[rayleaf]

I swear Republicans like chris are so funny "why didn't she pick someone more boring and easy to attack"

[christineherrmann]

That's how you build up the person you want to work with, and how you defend the person you want to work for. They seem like they're gonna be an excellent team.

Do you remember what a team is, Donny? Also, Chris Christie, you're an idiot. But that's nothing new. Anyone who votes for Trump/Vance after hearing that speech last night, was _never_ gonna vote Democratic.

[danielszymanski-jwkq]

Horrible! Lmfao like their policies will be different?? We already went through 4 years of kamala and joe !!! How will it be different?? No one can answer this question

[jomcgrath]

This was one incredible event!! If you haven’t seen the Philadelphia Rally - you must. Absolutely electrifying!!! Energy in a room like I’ve never seen!!!

[loriewilliams-tfof]

I'm wondering why we're still listening to Chris Christie's opinion...do scandals while in office now count as qualifications? Desperation to remain relevant isn't attractive.

[CaptainTrippy]

He’s very animated. I feel like he would not stay in the background much as Vice President.

[joannebottcher]

Wonderful accomplished cheerful ethical team. I love this team!
