I liked what he said on several interviews.

Good choice. He has the good seal of my approval, which has absolutely no impact on anything.

[Autumn]

As good as a first impression that Obama made upon me, I didn't see him as having any kind of chance unless he balanced his ticket properly: his relative youth and lack of foreign policy experience could be used against him as effectively as his race. The very first article I read about Obama's possible running mates contained Biden, and had me stating that if he didn't choose Biden, I wouldn't be able to take him seriously.

Shapiro was my first choice as Kamala's running mate, being an Easterner to balance her being a Westerner. But since her husband already put a Jew on the ticket, I switched to Kelly -- until I learned that he is also a Westerner. Walz's military background makes gives Kamala commander-in-chief chops; and his being a mid-Westerner literally splits the difference!

30. Slate online has a really good article on Harris' Foreign Policy experience in Biden's Administation.

She wasn't just buying cookware in France, as the press incinuated. She saved a relationship with French leaders who were pissed we sold a nuclear submarine to Australia, when France was hoping to make that sale.

A few months earlier, U.S.–French relations were on the verge of rupturing because the Biden administration sold a nuclear-powered submarine to Australia, thus preempting a submarine deal that Australia had signed with France. Harris proposed a face-to-face meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, made the trip, and smoothed over the tensions. (The press coverage of the trip focused more on her spending $500 on cookware at E. Dehillerin, a leading kitchen-supply store.)

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/08/kamala-harris-foreign-policy-2024-presidential-election.html?via=rss]

She sat in on most PDBs and, like Biden, asked questions to get more info on some items. Joe Biden is not just a great president, he is probably one of the best foreign policy teachers around. He involved her so she would learn from the master, and have a mastery of all current security and foreign relation issues.

She's more than ready. Joe made sure of that. Now, he will get on with his work in his term, and she's in it to win it!

[DickKessler]

67. The media would not have focused on the cookware if it had been any previous VP.

That’s for damn sure.

[highplainsdem]

24. Great ticket! Thanks for getting this pic online so fast!

[3auld6phart]

25. I

Like that. They look a great team. All the dest.

[tinrobot]

26. I'm going to love saying VP Tim!

[MustLoveBeagles]

27. Yay!!!

[magicarpet]

28. Down home regular guy,... Walz.

VS

The cushion humping - couch fornicator,...

[Pinback]

29. Excellent. Now let's move forward and get to work. (nt)

[Sky Jewels]

31. She made the best choice! Thank you Kamala!

[Emile]

33. What a great ticket!

[lark]

34. Great choice, another happy warrior who is a wonderful incisive communicator!!

What a great ticket!!

[EarnestPutz]

45. Happy warrior!! I'm guessing that you are refering to Hubert Humphrey, the original happy warrior from.....

......Minnesota. What a great idea and comparison. Both from the Democratic-Farm-Labor Party of Minnesota, something that the ticket should push.

[patricia92243]

35. We need this picture next to one of sour puss and dolt.

[niyad]

36. Dear Goddess, just look at the sheer joy and delight radiating from those two

images. kryptonite to the magats and talibangelicals!!!

[Beartracks]

37. Let's Goooooooo!!!!!!!

[mahina]

38. Yes!!!!

To break through the walls of misinformation, Gov Walz is the best choice with his no nonsense language. I would’ve been fine with Mr. Shapiro, we’d be lucky to have either, but I was really hoping for this.

Thanks for the great news EarlG.

Our chances just got better.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

40. I didn't know a thing about Walz before he was mentioned as a possible running mate.

People on DU provided lots of info, all of which showed him to be a good and capable man.

And he's not afraid to point out that JD is weird!

[wnylib]

47. I didn't know anything about him, either. Then I found

a long interview with him that started with his use of the word weird.

The interview showed what a good communicator he is and his sharp political insights on the American political scene. Besides having a good sense of humor, he is an in depth thinker about issues facing the nation.

Together, they make a good, winning, well-balanced ticket.

[PlutosHeart]

51. He has been our rudder in MN.

Think Paul Wellstone with some Humphrey thrown in.

[Rubyshoo]

41. Yes !!!

[calimary]

42. GOOD!!!

Brains, likability, and it’s geographically balanced. It works!

Looks like a good ticket - but then you look at the other one and this becomes a GREAT ticket!

[Dem2theMax]

43. Now THIS is a winning ticket!

How wonderful to wake up to something that puts the biggest smile on ones face! And this did it!

[Blue Owl]

46. Hells yeah it is!

[joanbarnes]

44. WOW!

Just look at the glow in this photo! No orange to be seen.

[SunSeeker]

48. That's a great choice!

I'm pretty sure that's who Nancy Pelosi was pushing for.

And Tim is only 1 year older than Kamala!.

[PlutosHeart]

52. Both Nancy and Bernie were.

[gademocrat7]

53. Dynamic duo

[Sanity Claws]

54. Make America Smile Again

I genuinely like both of them. They are such a change from the hate and divisiveness of the red hat folks. I just look at them and think we can smile again. We can be human again.

[Desert grandma]

55. 2024 Winning Ticket!!

On the road to VICTORY IN NOVEMBER!!

[intrepidity]

56. And Jim Gaffigan can play him on SNL

Finally, an exciting election season, in the positive sense.

[Dem4life1970]

57. So. Very. Awesome! Now let's win!

[NBachers]

58. My God, I can't begin to tell you how it thrills me and stirs my heart to see these two on our opening page.

[MyMission]

59. Circa 1964, 2024

Both candidates were born in 64.
Walz turned 60 in April, Kamala will turn 60 in October.

[Elessar Zappa]

78. So they're Gen X, is that correct?

[ChazInAz]

60. Happy Warriors!

[Initech]
