Harris Goes For Folksie

She and Walz are tough advocates for Democracy

Folksy Tim Walz is Kamala’s pick for VP!

His down-home appeal is only part of the reason why she picked him. In 2023, Mr. Walz signed a bill that codified the protections of Roe v. Wade, which had guaranteed a constitutional right to abortion, into law in his state. She also likes his implimentation as govenor of statewide child tax credit and a paid-leave program. He has served in the Army National Guard for decades, was in the US House for two decades and Govenor of Minnesotta since 2019. His early career was as a social studies teacher and football coach. He is a gun owner who supports a ban on assault weapons. Apparently, Harris also connected with Mr. Walz really well.

Walz also has a great sense of humor, in my opinion. It is at times a sharp sense of humor (like Harris), which, when going after their opponents will be good. He’s the one who coined the phrase calling the Trump/Pence team “weird.” That’s the kind of slight that is perfect for Trump — it makes him and his ideas seem out of touch, unusual, not mainstream.

I keep trying to think what Trump will call him, how he will go after him. Apparently, Walz had a DUI a few decades ago, but has since stopped drinking. That’s not enough to disqualify him — George Bush, Jr had the same. Walz did…
