Tuesday morning started off with a bang as reports of Vice President Kamala Harris selecting her running mate broke the news cycle.
According to sources close to her in the Harris campaign, she has selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to run with against the Republican team of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.

As reported by CNN, “Harris had not formally called Walz to offer him the position, a source familiar with process told CNN.”
Social media erupted at the decision, with conservative commentators quick to points out that Minnesota was ground zero for the Black Lives Matter riots which set major cities across the country ablaze in 2020. Riots which Walz did little to quell.
Walz was quick to endorse Harris after Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, and is viewed as a safer pick than Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who has openly supported Israel in the past.
With a Democratic platform that cannot offer such support of Israel in fear of losing Islamic votes in states such as Michigan and Minnesota, Walz carries none of the risk that comes with Shapiro.
A former congressman, teacher, National Guard member and chair of the Democratic Governors Association, Walz is believed to also be an asset when it comes to fundraising and bringing in cash for the campaign, as the DGA had a record breaking fundraising year under Walz.
Walz also has a history of supporting far-left platforms such as giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants, supporting transgender procedures on minors and changing the state flag of Minnesota to resemble the flag of Somolia.
According to Fox News, “Harris and Walz are scheduled to kick off a campaign swing through all seven crucial battleground states starting on Tuesday, with an event in Philadelphia.”
