He has experience in Congress and executive experience as a governor. He's very likable and plain spoken. He's funny. And he "balances" the ticket for people who want to be reassured that there's a white man in the room.

Walz would help win undecided white centrist voters in the Midwest and southern states we must win.

A solid choice.

Pete is my first choice, but Walz is my second choice.
And Walz is growing on me more each day.

And this pick will keep the momentum going.

As a life long Dem I am often depressed by choices that are made. But I feel hope and excitement that I haven’t felt since I pounded streets in 2008..

"A member of the Democratic Party, he is its nominee for vice president in the 2024 United States presidential election."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Walz
Obviously, anyone could have put that there... it is unsourced... and the news isn't going to break on Wikipedia.

I'm of the same mind as those who have asked "Why would Kamala hold a rally/announcement in Pennsylvania if it's anyone other than Shapiro?"
