Kamala Picks Walz As Running Mate
Vice President Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate after she secured the nomination.
On the night of August 5, the DNC held a virtual meeting to give Kamala the nomination and announce her pick as VP should she win.
Instead of going with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is a moderate, she went with a person who set up a hotline for this:

Folks the media isn’t happy either.
Not only is Walz a far leftists, his policies drudge up a time people want to forget.
Several liberal media figures have expressed notable concern and surprise following Vice President Kamala Harris’s announcement of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. The decision to select Walz over Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who many considered a strong contender, has sparked some outrage.
Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle leveled Kamala, “My fears about Harris are that she is incredibly bad at public speaking, and that she reliably makes bad political decisions. So far, she has done nothing to allay either fear. I’m not saying she can’t win, but I wish she gave me more confidence.”
Similarly, Professor and podcaster Damon Linker criticized the choice, noting, “Rather than pick the very popular governor of a neck-and-neck must-win purple state, Harris chose a dime-a-dozen blue-state governor who gives feels to progressives. That’s about what I’d have expected from her a month ago.”
Former CNN pundit Chris Cillizza simply labeled the decision as “weird,” while MSNBC’s Brendan Buck described it as “very 2019.” Buck also added, “The VP doesn’t matter a ton but I think this reflects very poorly on her decision making,” highlighting concerns about Harris’s judgment.
However, it was CNN’s Van Jones that really put it in perspective and his body language right at the beginning of the clip tells you all you need to know.
Van Jones said, “You have a lot of Muslims and Arabs and others, they have not felt seen by the Biden administration. You started hearing that genocide joke, that was building that was building and so those folks needed to have a candidate that they could feel comfortable with. This helps him in that regard.”
Adding: “But you also have anti-Semitism that has gotten marbled into this party. You can be for the Palestinians without being an anti-Jewish bigot. But there are some anti-Jewish bigots out there and there’s some disquiet now and there has to be. How much of what just happened is caving into some of these darker parts in the party? So that’s going to have to get worked out. It’s going to have to get talked through.”
