He is a former school teacher and is not Jewish which makes him a safe selection.

Kamala is pandering to the Old Honky Demographic. But we old farts aren't going to be impressed. Walz is an extremist, a huge proponent of Abortion as well as Sodomy.

Actually, he was a Master Sergeant, and a retired coach and teacher. He also hunts, and sports shoots, and fishes.

And unlike Trump, he's not a coastal elite, and draft dodger, and unlike Vance is not a phony baloney tech bro.

Oversaw/facilitated the 2020 BLM riots. No surprise she iced the Jew.

Lol, the MSM will be giddy now that Kamala has picked a white guy to mansplain for Harris. They'll use the VP pick to continue hiding Harris.

Vice President Kamala Harris has made a decision on her running mate, with four people close to the process saying Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota is her choice.

The selection caps the Midwestern Democrat’s short but swift ascent from a relative unknown to a leading driver of the party’s attacks on Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda.

Harris had not formally called Walz to offer him the position, a source familiar with process told CNN.




A former educator, Walz is currently in his second term as Minnesota governor and chairs the Democratic Governors Association. He previously served 12 years in Congress, representing a conservative-leaning rural district that, both before and after his tenure, has been mostly dominated by Republicans.

In the time leading up to his selection as Harris’ running mate, Walz had first been an outspoken defender of Joe Biden following his disastrous debate performance as calls for the president to end his reelection bid escalated. When Biden did drop out, Walz endorsed Harris the next day and has since emerged as a reliable, energetic and cutting advocate for the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Picking Walz also underscores the Harris campaign’s focus on a path to victory that puts a premium on the “blue wall” states of the Midwest. Minnesota is slightly outside that sphere, but Walz, once a high school football coach, has evolved during his time in office into something of a progressive populist folk hero – the exact kind of pugilistic voice that Democrats taking on Trump are keen to highlight.

He has over the past week delivered a handful of memorable haymakers against Republicans, though his most notable contribution has been a determination to label the GOP, especially its presidential ticket of Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance. Walz has referred to the duo as “weird dudes,” before lighting into their political agenda.

The phrase has stuck, becoming a central meme in the new, post-Biden version of the campaign, a development that is delighting Democrats and apparently frustrating many on the right.

During recent remarks at a “White Dudes for Harris” fundraiser, Walz made a rough-and-ready case for the vice president before would-be small-dollar donors.

“How often in 100 days do you get to change the trajectory of the world? How often in 100 days do you get to do something that’s going to impact generations to come?” Walz asked. “And how often in the world do you make that bastard wake up afterwards and know that a Black woman kicked his a**, sent him on the road?”

The line was well received on the call and almost immediately grabbed headlines. For many Democrats, at least, the online virality – with apologies to Biden’s “Dark Brandon” meme – was the kind they have pined for over the past few years.

Walz also has a personal story befitting the zeitgeist – a family history, as he discussed last month, of infertility troubles, with his wife of three decades, Gwen, which allows him to speak with some authority against opponents or skeptics of in vitro fertilization, or IVF.

“My oldest daughter’s name is Hope. That’s because my wife and I spent seven years trying to get pregnant, needed fertility treatments, things like IVF – things (MAGA Republicans) would ban,” Walz told Harris supporters. “These guys are the anti-freedoms.”

And to draw a bright, cheeky line under his own childhood experience, Walz – not for the last time – recounted that he “grew up in a small town: 400 people, 24 kids in the class, 12 cousins.”

Prior to Congress, Walz was a high school teacher and football coach and served in the Army National Guard. Over more than a decade in Congress, he assembled a fairly centrist voting record. As a first-time campaigner, he opposed a ban on same-sex marriage and supported abortion rights. And once in Congress, he balanced that out with comparatively more conservative positions on gun rights, which resulted in scoring a National Rifle Association endorsement. Walz has since fallen out of favor with the gun lobby over his support for gun safety actions as governor.

“I think he was a solid Democratic member of the House with a few twists - focus on ag, farmers, rural areas,” said Democratic strategist Jeff Blodgett, a longtime aide to the late Sen. Paul Wellstone. “I think that he wanted to protect rifles and things of that nature as a rural congressman.”

Walz ran for governor in 2018, emerging victorious by a double-digit margin. He won reelection in 2022 with 52 percent of the vote. As governor Walz had to grapple with divided government and slim majorities in the state Legislature. But in 2022, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (as the state’s Democratic Party is known) won control of both the state House and Senate giving Walz’s party a slim “trifecta” of legislative control.

That allowed Walz to sign into law a raft of expansive social welfare programs such as free lunch for public school students, expansive access to Medicaid, increased protections that allow workers to unionize and expanded medical and family paid family leave.

Most importantly, he's not weird and creepy, like the whole Trump team.

In fact, he's the one who keeps highlighting how weird and creepy the right is.

That's why the weird and creepy crowd hates him.

It was the safest choice for sure.

Not the sexist, but the safest.

There was no way Shapiro was going to be the pick in view of the islamic terrorist voter base that supports the Dems.

Walz is perfect. A self proclaimed failure.

What's so safe about choosing an old coot like Walz, to help Kamala oppose a vibrant team of Trump and Vance?

President Trump took a bullet to the face and no-sold it. The man may be 77, but he could kick Walz's ass easily.

So this is the where and when of the "Weird" meme. Great politician. More old school than what we mostly see today. I thought "Where did this guy come from?" as I've been out of the political stuff where I used to breath and sleep politics. Something bothered me and then I saw the Wikiepdia page "The Kerry campaign!" I worked/volunteered with the Vets people from the Senator's Office and his campaign. This guy will be on the road for the Harris campaign. He's a phenomenal speaker and advocate.

"THESE GUYS ARE JUST WEIRD. THEY TALK ABOUT PRIVATE SCHOOLS. WHERE IN THE HECK ARE YOU GOING TO FIND A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN A TOWN OF 400?"

Making about Pete B., is a weird tactic that seems to Maga as permission to go all out weirdness with screaming memes and attacks in gays.

Pete did not introduce the weird meme:

Liberals trying to call Vance and Trump “weird” is like Mayor Pete calling them “gay.”

The entire GOP campaign is weird. It has been weird since escalator day. Magaturds worship a diaper wearing old guy sporting pancake makeup and a Flock of Seagulls haircut. Fucking weird. Always weird. :rolleyes: I've said this for years. Again. “Weird” calling others “weird” (as your post...

The fact that Shapiro is a Jew was sure to come out, and would not help the Democrat ticket with their pro-national socialist base.

Walz is 60, that is not old. He is a Veteran, that worked his way up to the top as an E-9.

Trump could not kick anyone's ass, he is so lazy he drives his golf cart on to the green to avoid walking an extra 10 feet.
