Vice President Kamala Harris has finally decided who will accompany her to The White House if she defeats Donald Trump in the November 5 election. Should this occur, 60-year-old Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will become Madam President’s Vice President. If you’re unfamiliar with Governor Walz, that’s ok. We got you.
Recently, you might have heard Kamala Harris or any number of Democrats call Donald Trump and his band of merry MAGAs “weird.” It is a refrain that has become part of the fabric of the campaign to defeat not only Trump the person but his poisonous ideas that have taken root and sprouted inside the republican party. You can thank Tim Walz for succinctly and sincerely crystallizing right-wing politics in 2024.
Republicans are sure to weaponize the fact that Walz was governor of Minnesota during the summer of protest following the murder of George Floyd on the streets of his state. However, Walz took the protesters’ concerns and enacted legislation to hopefully help prevent more George Floyds from happening in the Land of 1o,000 Lakes.
According to New Republic, Walz banned the chokehold, introduced de-escalation training for police, and established an independent board to investigate police officers who have killed citizens. Walz also created a child tax credit aimed at reducing child poverty levels in addition to providing the middle class with other state-sponsored protections for abortion, LGBTQ freedoms, and free meals for school children.
The match is set. Game on. Get involved or lose big on November 5.
