Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota has been selected by Vice President Kamala Harris as her vice-presidential running mate. This decision elevates the former teacher and Army National Guard veteran to join the Democratic ticket and assist in leading the party’s efforts to defeat Donald Trump. Walz was chosen from a shortlist of candidates that included Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, following an expedited vice presidential search process.

Vice President Harris conducted in-person interviews with Walz, Shapiro, and Kelly on Sunday. With a background as a high school teacher, football coach, and Army National Guard member who rose to the rank of command sergeant major, Walz brings over a decade of experience in Congress to the table.

Having successfully run for governor in 2018 with a significant margin of victory, Walz’s has a track record as a governor who collaborates with both Democrats and Republicans. This, along with his connection to rural Minnesota, reportedly made him a compelling choice for Vice President Harris, and the Democratic Party is optimistic that the combination will appeal to a broad spectrum of voters across the area.

    It’s the same Republicans, they haven’t said a thing they’d do for their 60 million Black population, totally disenfranchised from the days when Dems ran the klan. Like access to the banks for building wealth, an anti-lynching law, though they did the anti-Asian hate crime bill just because an Asian got slapped. However, they are running on what they will do for wyt Jewish people for continued reparations.

    Anybody but Don-old Trump as president. Trump is toxic, xenophobic, ignorant, uncouth, RACIST, and has a special hatred for intelligent, black women.

    He hardly espouses any practicable policies whenever he opens his filthy mouth. He curses like someone who suffers from Tourette Syndrome.

    Kamala Harris for president! Sounds right !

    Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 8 Thumb down 6

    She can select any one, (A rat is a rat), If you would ask anyone in the U.S, but not millionaires and billionaires,
    “Were you better off 4yrs ago under the leadership of president Donald Trump?”
    You will know then if a running mate will address the elephant in the room which is economic hardship and continued poverty.
