In recent weeks, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz burst from relative obscurity to co-headlining the Democratic presidential ticket. Walz’s career rocket launch was fueled by his cutting political rhetoric, folksy midwestern charm, jovial dad vibes, and progressive principles and accomplishments.
Before Walz was governor and a vice presidential candidate, he wore many hats. He was a congressman, a high school teacher, a union member, a command sergeant major in the Army National Guard, a state-championship-winning high school football coach. While not as dramatic as the political transformation of his electoral counterpart JD Vance, Walz too had a political transformation over the last decade. As governor, Walz established a more progressive record than his time as a congressman, including on gun control and fighting climate change.
As governor, Walz prioritized economic issues — including greater government support for families and children — which have also been a top priority for Kamala Harris. It’s feasible that Walz’s selection could be a signal of the policies that Harris, if elected president, will try to implement during her administration.
As governor, Walz prioritized increasing the economic security of kids.

In a way, yes, the bullying, anti-American Commie issues were addressed, but in the most glowing, complimentary terms possible, as though these were some kind of virtue and moral imperatives.
“Gov’ner” Tim Walz is at heart an anarchist, with a dark underside that glories in the subjugation of children and subversive activities to keep the economy of Minnesota closed and restricted for the benefit of the “preferred” classes, like the BLM and the Somali enclave around Minneapolis.
Hubert Humphrey he ain’t.
“...a command sergeant major in the National Guard...”
NPR just can’t bend over far enough.
a command sergeant major in the Army National Guard...
No.
with net worth less than half the average for his age
You mean a REPORTED net worth...
Never forget: He’s a democrat.
Hey Greg Rosalsky of NPR, want a breath mint after that, and what the heck is that all over your face?
His net worth now pales in comparison to what he’d “earn” after a stint in the WH. He’d have more dough that Bernie and AOC combined.
It must really be nice to be a democrat, where every single thing the MSM says about you is colorful roses and chocolate life.
The buzz is they cant find his DD.
I’m not sure if you’ve just made an off color joke or that you’re not aware that the Army retirement form,like all forms in the US Armed Forces,has an identifying number...some of which start with “DD”,which is used by *all* branches.
The ignorance among the NPR labeled idiots are having a day of MISS-HEARUBG TRUMPs answers to Elon’s comments & questions. Stupid stupid people who don’t deserve the most perfect President possible in President Trump.
What assets are he hiding?
National proletariat radio?
“FOLKSY”
Take a drink....
I am no fan of NPR but I did like listening to Carl Castle’s morning reports.
They’re probably trying to build up enough points to win a Nina Totenburg Tote Bag.
OMG!! MY GAYDAR is off the charts when I see him Jumping around with his mouth wide open!! LOOKS LIKE A NUT!
