Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate in the 2024 presidential election.
“I am proud to announce that I’ve asked Tim Walz to be my running mate,” Harris posted on her social media accounts.
“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,” she added.
The two are scheduled to appear at a rally together this afternoon in Philadelphia.
Walz, who is currently serving in his second term as governor, previously served 12 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he was considered a moderate, but turned sharply to the left after becoming governor.
As governor, Walz gained national attention for the way he handled the riots that broke out following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020 and for signing many progressive bills into law, including legislation codifying abortion rights into state law, legalizing marijuana, tighter gun control laws and allowing illegal immigrants access to Minnesota drivers licenses.
No Republican presidential candidate has won Minnesota since Richard Nixon did so in the 1972 election.
In a statement, Trump Campaign Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed the pick, describing Walz as a “West Coast wannabe” who “spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden State.”
“It’s no surprise that San Francisco Liberal Kamala Harris wants West Coast wannabe Tim Walz as her running-mate – Walz has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden State,” Leavitt said.
“While Walz pretends to support Americans in the Heartland, when the cameras are off, he believes that rural America is ‘mostly cows and rocks’. From proposing his own carbon-free agenda, to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars, and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda far and wide.,” she continued.
“If Walz won’t tell voters the truth, we will: just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is every American’s nightmare.”
Hurray! Another socialist who will give out freebies (sarcasm intended)
what was wrong with Josh Shapiro? was it an issue with his race?
they don’t need him. the Philly fraud machine will guarantee the Dems a “victory” in PA. This is about getting the all important Somalia / Hamas contingent to harvest ballots for the team.
ya she profiled him
B”H that Kackling Kamala did NOT pick “Jewish” Shapiro. If by some chance the Aibershter designates Kamala to win the presidency, it’s almost certainly because of His will that the U.S. (the once-upon-a-time medina shel chesed) be destroyed (to finally force us golus-mentality Jews out). Who needs a Jew associated with THAT?
Shoved the Jew Shapiro out the door. Oy vay, qvelling lib yentas confused.
So…BLM is back on the menu?
We’re miffed that Josh Shapiro wasn’t chosen, despite his eminent presentability and popularity. But remember that he is very visibly Jewish, both by name and record. To partner with Kamala, he would have to demonstratively show that he us not partial to Jews. Its better to have a nice, solid Midwestern gentile as potential VP.
Indication that Kamala Harris is Jewish!
She just celebrated “Passover” with Gov. Shapiro.
