Kamala Harris Reportedly Picks Tim Walz As Her Running Mate

Gotta love Borowitz!

That is one reason. I think the other is that Donald Trump wants to use the debates as a show of dominance, his go-to political operating method. That was his entire weird thing in the debates with Hillary when he shadowed her.

And Kamala is clearly aware of his tactics. My thinking is she will vet any kind of venue and debate rules carefully. So, I just don’t think any debate will happen.

Can the Harris-Walz campaign get Suni Lee to appear with them?

Word on the street😉 @VP Harris has chosen Minnesota @GovTimWalz as her choice for Vice President. Already the pro-Shapiro freakout has begun. And if you’re listening to the early BS coming from @JDVance this morning–“They will not have picked Shapiro frankly because of antisemitism in their own caucus, in their own party . . . The far left doesn’t like the fact that he is a Jewish American", well that says a lot that you’re listening to JD Vance.

Trust me, Walz will connect with Western Pennsylvania. Remember, Walz was the one who branded Trump and his MAGA Party as “weird” and his populist pitch matches up against the pro-authoritarian populism of MAGA. Game knows game. How the campaign navigates the MAGA rehash of the riots in Minnesota following the murder of George Floyd will be an early test, but hey, I’m sure Kamala thought about that in making him her choice.

Just means he’s closer to the center since all the other democrats are (reviews random MTG speech) communists.

Me too. Mine was “Mr D”. He was part of the “Mod Squad”; a trio of teachers in their twenties.

As a former enlisted man (in reality, drafted) that’s way better than an officer.

This editor says “oy.”

And can we offer a small prayer of thanks that the Dems did NOT fuck this up??

I am happy about Walz, too. But the state motto of Minnesota is “L’etoile du Nord” (“Star of the North”) – “Forward” is Wisconsin’s… :wink:

He is calm and progressive. He also refers to himself as a “Minnesota Lutheran.” He is the most sensible and liberal of Lutherans – ELCA. I think of it as being like Unitarian. Even though it stands for Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. It’s not at all Evangelical or Holy Roller.

He’s all passion for people and pragmatism. Not a bit of drama in him. He’ll be fine!

It should read "Native American activist and since 2019 serving as the 50th lieutenant governor of Minnesota ".

Just wait until tonight at the Harris / Walz(!) rally at the Liacouras Center in Philly.

Shapiro will knock his endorsement out of the arena!

“Embracing policies that allow convicted felons to vote” I think the state of Florida has already allowed that for a certain felon who was convicted of 34 felonies and resides in Mar a Lago.

Universal vote by mail works wonders. Today is “Election Day” in Washington, but I deposited my ballot last week after several days to review my choices.

Watching the MAGAt on X going hard at Shapiro the last couple of days made me wonder if they knew something.

As usual, they were wrong.
