Kamala Harris launched ‘dark-arts operation’ against opponents for VP spot in 2020, new book claims
And this......
thehill.com———Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said one reason he was chosen as Harris’s running mate was because he could “code talk to white guys watching football” and “fixing their truck,” saying the Harris campaign sought to tap into Walz’s Midwest roots, teacher ties, military service and coaching of a high school football team in an attempt to appeal to general election voters.
While he liked to think he was chosen because of his delivering “amazing progressive things in Minnesota,” he acknowledged a large part was to connect with white swing-state voters.
“I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck, I could put them at ease,”
Walz said. “I was the permission structure to say, ‘Look you can do this and vote for this.’”
Walz noted, however, that they “didn’t get enough of those votes,” and acknowledged missteps during the Democrats’ 107-day campaign but said he is aiming to help the party rebuild ahead of the next election cycle.
