Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate, according to three sources with knowledge of the pick, adding a popular Midwestern state executive to the Democratic ticket as the party gears up to hold onto key Northern battleground states this fall.
In picking Walz, who's in his second term and also served 12 years in Congress, Harris will have as her No. 2 someone with a proven record of winning over white working-class voters in Rust Belt states while also boasting a robustly progressive record.
Democrats will hope that mix of attributes helps a Harris-Walz ticket shore up support in the onetime “blue wall” states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan — longtime Democratic strongholds at the presidential level that Donald Trump flipped in 2016 and Joe Biden flipped back in 2020. This year, they’ve been seen as Biden’s, and now Harris’, most viable path to victory.
Walz, 60, had initially been viewed as a long shot in a field of vice presidential contenders that included rising party stars, some of whom have been mentioned as future presidential candidates, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
As a dumpy white bald guy myself, I can relate to Walz.
But that is where the similarities end.
The Mattress and a Waltz
Sounds more like prom night than a presidential ticket
Or maybe the mattress mistook his name for Balz!
Balz on a mattress made her feel right at home!
LMAO
Snort.
The putative PUTATUS didn’t pick him, did she.
The people who installed her did.
While Minneapolis burned....
Walz(nuts) has completely destroyed Minnesota.
He’s perfect to finish the job on our country.
(And not in a good way)
Praise the Lord.
Minnesota is losing population, folks not having children and fleeing for better economic conditions. Not a good recommendation for Waltz.
Her first big mistake as a candidate. Minn was a lock and Walz is a unlikeable jerk.
Walz ain’t gonna help her in Pennsylvania and she was already going to win the Muslim stronghold of Minnesota.
I suppose she decided that to hold onto Minnesota she had better not pick a Jew like Josh Shapiro. Of course, she may just be too antisemitic to personally stomach running with a Jew.
Walz is a screaming liberal, he believes in tax, tax, tax, savings and Capital gains, which will kill investment.
The Dems are going all in for socialism. They are not even trying to pretend they are moderate.
POTATOHEADOTUS = Biden
Even MSNBC said this was her first mistake...and to announce in Phillly.LOL.
Is he scheduled to demonstrate his twerking abilities at the next rally?
During the Floyd riots, Walz refused to call out the National Guard to protect black neighborhoods and businesses. They burned to the ground.
The protesters then tried to march on the Target world headquarters in the richest part of downtown. Then suddenly boom, Walz changed his mind, and out came the National Guard and mass arrests were finally made.
“boasting a robustly progressive record”
Translation:
radically pro-abortion
Very sad. Killing babies is their platform.
Oh, no. How many times in the past two weeks have we all said, “I just hope it’s not Walz!”?
“Minn was a lock and Walz is a unlikeable jerk.”
**************
That’s true but it wasn’t easy finding someone even more unlikable and batty than Harris herself.
