Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, wagering that a former red-district congressman with a progressive streak can help her win over working-class voters in battleground states needed to beat Donald Trump in November.

“The entire country is about to see why their friends from Minnesota can’t stop bragging about Governor Walz,” Minnesota DFL Party Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “By picking a servant leader born and raised in a small town who has dedicated his career to protecting freedoms and lifting up working families, Vice President Harris has chosen the perfect foil for [Trump running mate] JD Vance and his politics of resentment.”

He has a very pro-Israel record, but also has weirdly wishy-washy rhetoric about it.

Interesting pick. Maybe uncommitted spooked her?

Is she trying to loose?

Edit: did you mean to say pro-Palestinian? If she was worried about the uncommitted movement that unseated Biden, wouldn't she pick someone pro-Palestine?

He's sympathetic to the anti-genocide protests and very vocal about it. Like I said, wishy washy.
