Jessica Yellin Instagram – VP Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. The Governor is perhaps best known nationally for introducing the word “weird” to campaign vernacular, flipping the messaging on Trump and Vance.
He is an accomplished Governor who has protected reproductive rights, expanded policies for parents and kids and taken action on a range of other progressive priorities including health care as governor. At 60, he is just a smidge older than Harris but with his gray hair he looks significantly older. He could provide the so-called “permission structure” that might help some Americans get comfortable voting for the first female, and first Black and South Asian woman for president.
His choice has been hailed by everyone from the Obamas to Bernie Sanders.
Conservatives are already on the attack.
