To me he's like a younger Bernie, a brilliant speaker and debater, he is great at turning criticism directed at him back at the person giving it him, in ways that connect with the public, that may be my like of him speaking though. He's a former teacher and IIRC the highest ranking ex-military in political office, which may earn him respect amongst Americans. The unions all want him, House Democrats want him and he seemingly has no negative baggage attached to him except from the socialist labels, Lol.
But he's obviously not as EC important as Shapiro or Kelly's states. He is clearly more left wing than most Democrats and Americans are terrified of the s-word as stupid as that is, having said that...He was elected to the House of Representatives for Minnesota's 1st congressional district in 2006, defeating six-term Republican incumbent Gil Gutknecht. He was reelected five times, retiring in 2019 after being elected governor. Walz represented a large, mostly rural section of southern Minnesota situated along the border with Iowa.
Is this a Republican leaning district? Would it not imply he appeals to Republicans in his district? Maybe he'd appeal to them elsewhere? Such as Wisconsin and Michigan? The Rust Belt. Walz has had big success in rural sections, which are commonly Republican leaning, maybe he can speak to them in ways they will understand.
