WHY TIM WALZ?

Per source close to VP selection process on what KamalaHarris sees in him:

• Executive experience with a record on core goals: child tax credit, paid leave, gun safety, junk fees, abortion
• Appealing bio in key Midwest states: veteran, football coach, hunter, gun owner, won a Trump district
• Effective messenger vs. Trump-Vance (see: “weird”)
• Personal rapport & her confidence in him as a governing partner

Like Vice President Harris, Governor @Tim_Walz believes that government works to serve us. Not just some of us, but all of us. That’s what makes him an outstanding governor, and that’s what will make him an even better vice president. Michelle and I couldn’t be happier for Tim… pic.twitter.com/s0RmVs7bGL

If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz WIN the election, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a fellow Democrat, would become Minnesota’s next governor.

She would be the first female governor in Minnesota and the first Native American woman to serve as governor in the country. pic.twitter.com/0NlbR52qMH
