Vice President Kamala Harris has finally decided who will accompany her to The White House if she defeats Donald Trump in the November 5 election. Should this occur, 60-year-old Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will become Madam President’s Vice President. If you’re unfamiliar with Governor Walz, that’s ok. We got you.
I am proud to announce that I’ve asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate.
As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he’s delivered for working families like his.
It’s great to have him on the team.
Now let’s get to work. Join us:https://t.co/W4AE2WlMTj

Recently, you might have heard Kamala Harris or any number of Democrats call Donald Trump and his band of merry MAGAs “weird.” It is a refrain that has become part of the fabric of the campaign to defeat not only Trump the person but his poisonous ideas that have taken root and sprouted inside the republican party. You can thank Tim Walz for succinctly and sincerely crystallizing right-wing politics in 2024.
I’m telling you: these guys are weird. pic.twitter.com/fvNRNf7T7T

Republicans are sure to weaponize the fact that Walz was governor of Minnesota during the summer of protest following the murder of George Floyd on the streets of his state. However, Walz took the protesters’ concerns and enacted legislation to hopefully help prevent more George Floyds from happening in the Land of 1o,000 Lakes.
According to New Republic, Walz banned the chokehold, introduced de-escalation training for police, and established an independent board to investigate police officers who have killed citizens. Walz also created a child tax credit aimed at reducing child poverty levels in addition to providing the middle class with other state-sponsored protections for abortion, LGBTQ freedoms, and free meals for school children.
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. https://t.co/tqOVsw2OLM
