Walz Thanks Harris, Says Running Mate Choice ‘Honor Of A Lifetime’
Minnesota’s Governor, Tim Walz, has expressed gratitude to Vice President Kamala Harris after being picked as her running mate for the November 2024 presidential race.
Walz wrote on X; “It is the honor of a lifetime to join @kamalaharris in this campaign. I’m all in.
“Vice President Harris is showing us the politics of what’s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school. So, let’s get this done, folks! Join us”, the Vice Presidential nominee short statement said.
Trump, Republicans React!
As expected, the Republicans immediately began attacking Walz as a “radical leftist” with claims that picking him was “a massive gift to Republicans”.
The GOP (Grand Old Party) also suggested Walz’s presence on the ticket will tank the Harris campaign.
In a statement, the Trump campaign called Walz a “west coast wannabe” who has “spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden state”.
The campaign brought up a clip from 2017 where Walz talks about electoral maps that show broad swathes of red, saying those areas are “mostly cows and rocks”.
“If Walz won’t tell voters the truth, we will: just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is every American’s nightmare,” the Trump campaign said.
Amid the Republican fiery attacks, a New York Times/Siena College national opinion poll published late July found that Harris has narrowed what had been a sizable Trump lead.
Trump was ahead of Harris 48 percent to 46 percent among registered voters, compared with a lead of 49 percent to 41 percent over Biden in early July.
