Even former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) appears to be leaning in Walz’s favor. A source familiar with the California Democrat’s thinking told The Hill she “is always especially fond of former House colleagues” when asked about Harris’s running mate, a nod to Walz.

House Democrats Home in on Tim Walz as Kamala Harris VP Choice

Oh Lawd! Walz coming in from the back with the steel chair!

I'm surprised Pelosi is in favour of Walz, I'd thought she'd say someone more centre but Pelosi is actually really politically smart so if she is in favour of Walz then that makes me even more sure that he's a good pick.

Maybe the thinking is we don’t need someone in the center, we need someone who can effectively persuade people in the center to support progressive policies?

If Harris believes she can win PA without Shapiro then maybe it's that.

Walz is my favourite from a personality standpoint but I was worried about his left-leaning nature even if I agree with a lot of it, but maybe Walz can appeal to those that are needed, he certainly does have a way with words and when I look at him, I see a charming as fuck dude but at the same time, he's a brilliant orator and the whole "weird" attack that has been so successful came from Walz, it's probably his teacher days, dude has disarmed Trump so easily, Lol.

I don't envy having the pick between Shapiro/Walz/Kelly. Though I will say, I'm noticing more and more attacks on Shapiro lately, it feels as though he has the most baggage and whether some of these things are true or not, the narrative is there, as an example, he would probably have to reach out to Arab communities right out of the gate because the narrative is there.
