Whoa! Tim Walz May Actually Be Hurting Kamala's Chances of Winning Minnesota

Before Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, Trump was gaining ground in a number of blue states. Maine, Virginia, New Hampshire, and even Minnesota were in or approaching toss-up territory. When Kamala replaced Biden on top of the ticket, the polls told us that these states were no longer in reach for Trump. However, that may be changing.

Recent polling shows that Virginia may still be in play, and Kamala is headed to New Hampshire this week, which may be a sign that her campaign is worried about the state. Now we're starting to see numbers that suggest that her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz may be hurting her in his home state.

Kamala Harris’ bet on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has actually lost her ground in his home state.

That’s the takeaway from new polling of 635 likely voters from Minnesota’s KSTP, which found that the Democratic presidential nominee’s advantage over Donald Trump has been cut in half since she picked Walz as her running mate last month and showcased the ticket at the Democratic National Convention.

Harris now leads Trump 48% to 43%, a significant decline for her from the previous survey that showed her up 50% to 40% — the opposite of a post-convention bump that normally would have been expected.

This is particularly remarkable given that this was a poll that included more Democrats than Republican respondents — with Dems making up 40% of the sample, Republicans 35%, and independents the remainder.

But the hilarious part is that according to the poll data, Walz is the one who is likely causing her decline in the state.

"Only 52% of Minnesota voters see him as an excellent or good choice, with 12% saying he’s a fair selection, and a staggering 34% saying he’s a poor pick," reports the New York Post. "Walz is underwater with men, with 49% approving of his selection and 50% opposing it. About 40% of male respondents called him a poor choice of running mate."

The only thing worse than picking Tampon Tim as veep was picking Willie’s Ho as president.

The maggots in the “media” have a lot of idiots convinced that Tiny Tim Tampon is just a good ole boy like they are.

A token white putz doesn’t have much of a demographic base even in blue states.

The guy looks like a frog so he’s probably a bug eater too.

Well, the Minneapolis-StPaul, Duluth and Rochester machines will produce whatever number of votes are needed.

I would like to think that she is a forlorn hope even without Chinese Walz.

Al Gore didn’t win TN either in 2000.home state isn’t a given. Trump should do another rally

Gov. Kristi Noem of SD said the western half on MN would like to secede from MN and join SD. LOL!

Am I the only one that thinks Waltz, in certain photos, is reminiscent of W.C. Fields?
