What the odds of Kamala ever doing a press conference.
From what I have learned, he was a perfect pick. Having served in the military and Senate. Also having served as a teacher for more than two decades

Old whitehaired male who will be 68 in 8nyears and become the incumbent for the
2032 presidential race. Not a bad choice but shortsighted
The United States biggest mistake will be thinking that Tim will be running the country not Kamala ……🤡🤡🤡
Tim stands out for his ability to remain to the point and focused during conversations ensures clarity and effectiveness . His faithfulness and loyalty, coupled with his royal demeanor, make him a respected figure in various circles. HONESTY is a cornerstone of his character, further elevating his respect among peers and community members.
As a teacher, Tim is systematically convincing, making complex concepts accessible and engaging for students. His excellence as a governor demonstrates his strong leadership and governance skills. He consistently wins in debates, leveraging his persuasive aura, which also makes him an influential figure as a father, teacher, and governor. Notably, Tim has garnered respect across the political spectrum, including true conservative Republicans, highlighting his broad appeal and principled approach to relationships and governance.
Democrats who want to vote for Kamala are weird.
It's a vote for social ism anti police more inflation more taxes more crime open boarders bad economy like we've had under Biden.
The Biden administration is a broken administration voting for Kamala is like putting in a different driver of a broken down vehicle!!! 2020-2024 have been horrible for Americans!! You want more if that???? You're weird!!!
Promoting is good; mandating is not.
everything I've read about Waltz is amazing… I'm happy with this choice. Can't wait to see him debate weirdo Vance
Despite the spin by the liberal elite press, Walz definitely leans far left and is more in line with Kamala's San Francisco ultra liberal ways. He was pro-BLM riots and turned a blind eye to the riots in Minneapolis. No thanks. That's not going to get the midwest vote, maybe only help Minnesota. It's not going to get Iowa and Michigan will still be close.
Wow she really made the best pick. I gotta say Kamala has been campaigning extremely competently.
Born in West Point, Nebraska to a Lutheran family of German American descent, Walz grew up working on his family's farm. He joined the Army National Guard and worked a blue-collar manufacturing job after high school. He later graduated with a teaching degree from Chadron State College in Nebraska before moving to Minnesota in 1996. Before running for Congress, he was a social studiesteacher and football coach in the Mankato school district. He was elected to the United States House of Representativesfor Minnesota's 1st congressional district in 2006, defeating six-term Republican incumbent Gil Gutknecht. He was reelected five times, resigning in 2019 after being elected governor. Walz represented a large, mostly rural section. Great pick.
Walz looks like he is 80, not 60.
are these videos narrated by AI. Sounds so robotic and dull
💯 VOTE 💙 HARRIS / WALZ 💙 2024 💙 DEMOCRACY 💯
💙 AMERICA FREE & BLUE FOREVER 💙
Tim Walz is a good choice. A regular guy that people can relate to, but also an experienced leader in Minnesota.
Due to his age I also believe it is a choice by Harris to say that the next Democratic primary after she leaves office will be about the next generation rather than just continuing with the former VP.
So far he seems like an uncontroversial choice.
Of course, Republicans will try to find something, even if they have to invent something.
Coming from a Republican, the Shapiro pick worried me. The Walz pick does not. I don’t think it moves the needle for undecided voters either. My first thought was that the Dems might be punting on winning the top of the ticket, while salvaging the down ballots.
Kamala picked a work horse! Check his record! Time to move on and watch these candidates lay out their plans for the American people! Least we forget, elements of “TRUMP’S PROJECT 2025” are ALREADY being implemented!
HARRIS-WALZ 2024!
“WE’RE NOT GOING BACK!” 😊
Excellent selection you made Mrs. Kamala Harris. !!!
Why is the thumbnail a picture of him looking grumpy?! 😡 He’s one of the happiest and nicest people on Earth! Just by this picture choice, you show your bias towards the orange 🍊 man.
The people who think men can be women are calling others weird…
Y’all left out how he tryna push the 🌈on children
God help us if this man is appointed to any form of leadership that oversees the entire country.
Democracy Forever 🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤❤❤ i voting trump
🤔🤔🤔 she's winning this thing now
Ironic that the conservative WSJ has picked up on all the nuanced, and frankly, brilliant reasons for picking Walz while the lame stream lefty media keeps harping about how this was 'the safe choice', which makes it seem timid and not very well thought through. This guy has it all. In spades.
Feel that Blue Wave 🌊 coming through. 😎
"Does well among rural voters"
MSNBC just ran a numbers analysis showing he did no better than Biden in rural MN (mid 30s).. all his votes came from urban areas.
Waltz does not appear to give anything tangible in battleground states nor expand to the centre.
Unless Shapiro had some real dirt to be exposed seems bizarre to give up PA certainty.
In a 100,000 Dem chat room last night was 50:50 between Shapiro & Waltz .. so tricky decison.
Biggest concern is that GOP can now get the "very liberal" attack to stick to the ticket as Waltz is not more centrist. Hopefully not.
100% WRONG! This individual is a pandering clown who abandoned the police of this state like he did his troops.
We are in the top 10 for the highest taxes in the country. Get this man to the highest level so we can pay more!!! I love paying higher taxes.
He's Another Progressive – Guaranteed To Destroy The American Constitution.
Before Gov. WALTZ become Governor, Minnesota was rank 24th in all categories. Since WALTZ was selected for Governor, Minnesota climbed to rank 14th and rank 5th in 2024.
So he’s another clown just like Kamala. Fantastic 😩😩
The holes that Harris is looking to plug by picking Walz are the same reasons that she’ll lose. The people she wants to reach aren’t voting for Walz, they’re voting for the President and they don’t want Harris. They’re going to say the “right things” to reporters and pollsters, but Harris will lose. Biden picked Harris because after George Floyd was murdered, he needed to keep certain folks in line and throwing them a bone in the form of Harris accomplished that goal…..much to Whitmer’s disappointment.
Dictator Trump is definitely going to prison
I honestly think, experience teachers and veterans should go into politics more.
The left is taking off the mask and going full progressive I see.
He did not really want to be the pick. He just got sucked into it.
