Walz unifies the party, will bring working class voters back into the fold
The Hill ^ | 08/06/2024 | Max Burns

Well, it’s finally a race. On Tuesday, Kamala Harris selected progressive Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate in what has become one of the most exciting presidential campaign sprints in modern history. The Harris-Walz campaign now has just 89 days to take its show on the road before voters head to the ballot box on Nov. 5.

Harris’ choice also did the impossible, uniting progressive and conservative lawmakers in Washington. Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hailed Walz as an “excellent decision” and a leader who “won’t back down under tight odds.” Meanwhile, Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) — no friend of the left — wrote on X that he could “think of no one better than Governor Walz to help bring our country closer together.”

Pundits and political journalists framed Harris’s choice as a safe bet compared to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who found himself weighed down in recent days with a spate of unflattering headlines. But in selecting Walz, Harris has done more than just unify her party ahead of a major election. She’s found a running mate Republicans can’t seem to hit.

Stupid working class voters, perhaps. But not ones that care about their children.

In all of the years/my many replies to your thread posts, this is the FIRST you’ve replied to my post (that I can recollect).

I was beginning to think you were a bot.

A running mate Republicans can’t hit? There have already been some hits, such as his handling of the George Floyd riots, and his liberal record on various issues.

blah blah blah...seems like a colossally stupid pick to me. Minnesota last went GOP with Lincoln. Lib gov from a lib state. Seems dumb to me. Thought for sure they’d go with PA. I’d have been more nervous with Shapiro. Right now, I’m pretty happy with this pick.

Too many pro-Hamas voters in the Democratic Party. Too many skeletons in Shapiro's closet. Or maybe Shapiro told Harris no.

I think it's the antisemitism in the party and Harris didn't want to have to deal with that.
