Walz was able to seize that moment and find a way to message for Democrats when they’re so desperately seeking a newer and clearer way to push back on Trump-Vance. Walz went viral after dubbing Trump and his running mate “just weird” on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. He quickly ascended on Harris’s shortlist.

If you’re someone who believes that “too liberal” is no longer a category, you might think Governor Walz (D-MN) helps Kamala Harris in the Midwest. Her camp says the “folksy liberal” will win working-class voters, but I’m not convinced. Not when Minnesota’s GDP growth ranks 36th amongst all states, its economy ranks 26th, and its schools rank 17th (it’s also 22nd in crime control and 19th in population growth). That’s why Walz lost greater Minnesota (outside Minneapolis) by 23 points in 2022 – 13 points worse than Obama in 2012.
If left-liberal Harris had picked “centrist” Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA), it would’ve helped her in battleground states. She’s won a grand total of zero primary votes, had to walk back unpopular positions (e.g. fracking ban), and doesn’t need Walz. All he’s done is pass laws allowing teens to have irreversible sex-change surgeries, and illegal aliens to get driver’s licenses, health care and tuition. He’s made abortion a “fundamental right” into the ninth month, and wants to eliminate all fossil fuels and socialize all health insurance (source: The Hill). A liberal ticket just lurched left!
