Harris picks Walz for vice president

Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, capping 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 decides on Tim Walz as running mate

From his teen start in the US military to teaching in China and on a Native American reservation before entering politics, Democratic vice presidential pick Tim Walz packs a full resume -- and exudes folksy appeal. He later taught at the Native American Reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, as well as in Nebraska.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) appeared to challenge Sen. JD Vance’s (R-Ohio) shooting skills, saying that the vice presidential hopeful cannot hunt pheasants like he can. “That’s what JD Vance’s stick is, talking about guns. I guarantee you he can’t shoot pheasants like I can,” Walz said Tuesday on “Anderson Cooper 360°.”

Former Bush campaign manager Karl Rove joined Fox News on Friday and predicted Vice President Kamala Harris will soon have a solid lead over Donald Trump in the polls. “So let’s talk about where the race is, because in some battleground states, the polls seem to have been narrowing. Let’s put it up here Arizona. Trump still leads, though one poll has got Harris up by two. Same thing in Nevada. Wisconsin, Trump holds a very narrowly missed Michigan. Trump is ahead, but Harris is up 11 in one new poll, which I think might be an outlier. Trump continues to lead in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. He’s still got the advantage, Karl, but she’s gaining momentum, there’s no question,” began anchor John Roberts.

As I type, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, may have already selected her vice presidential running mate. Whether Harris selects Pete Buttigieg or even if she doesn’t, I believe it’s time for a woman of color presidential candidate to select as VP a highly qualified, decorated veteran – who happens to be a gay man.

Why it's time for a vice president who happens to be gay (and maybe because of it)
