Vice President sez Walz Is The Kind of Vice President America Deserves
|
 [AP via Dallas Morning News] Kamala Harris introduced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to the nation at a raucous rally Tuesday in battleground Pennsylvania that was aimed at building momentum for the newly minted Democratic presidential ticket in the sprint toward Election Day.
"He’s the kind of person who makes people feel like they belong and then inspires them to dream big. ... That’s the kind of vice president America deserves," Harris said while standing with Walz in Philadelphia.
In choosing the 60-year-old Walz, Harris is elevating a Midwestern governor, military veteran and union supporter who helped enact an ambitious Democratic agenda for his state, including sweeping protections for abortion rights and generous aid to families.
Walz, who grew up in the small town of West Point, Nebraska, was a teacher, coach and union member at Mankato West High School in Minnesota before entering politics.

He won the first of six terms in Congress in 2006 from a mostly rural southern Minnesota district and used the office to champion veterans issues. Walz served 24 years in the Army National Guard, rising to command sergeant major, one of the highest enlisted ranks in the military, although he didn’t complete all the training before he retired so his rank for benefits purposes was set at master sergeant.He won the first of six terms in Congress in 2006 from a mostly rural southern Minnesota district and used the office to champion veterans issues.

 "We both believe in lifting people up, not knocking them down," she said. "We both know that the vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us. And we see in our fellow Americans neighbors, never enemies."
Except for the fascists, deplorables, and Trumpists.

The Trump campaign on Tuesday immediately tried to tag Walz as a far-left liberal.
You left off the usual 'without evidence'. But you've memory-holed all the evidence.
"It’s no surprise that San Francisco Liberal Kamala Harris wants West Coast wannabe Tim Walz as her running-mate — Walz has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden State," said Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s campaign press secretary.
Trump, who often weighs in on the news on his social media network, posted simply, "THANK YOU!" after the news of Walz’s selection was public. He followed up with another post a few hours later, proclaiming "This is the most Radical Left duo in American history" and suggested Biden "feels that he made a historically tragic mistake" and would try to get back in the race again.
