Kamala Harris Picks Tim Walz for VP
That was a surprise.
Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate today.
“I am proud to announce that I’ve asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate. As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he’s delivered for working families like his. It’s great to have him on the team,” Kamala Harris posted on Twitter.
It was a bit of a surprise, as I thought the final choice would come down to Arizona Senator Mark Kelly and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Either one would have been a politically calculated choice: Mark Kelly would have been a great asset to blunt the Trump campaign’s attacks on immigration, and Josh Shapiro would have helped her seal the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.
However, it was clear in the final stages, through non-stop media speculation, that the final list was trimmed down to Tim Walz, Josh Shapiro, and Mark Kelly.
Now that the selection has been made, let us look at what Governor Tim Walz brings to the table.
- Tim Walz can land a punch and when he does it really lands.
