Democrats Regretting Kamala Harris’ VP Pick
Former Representative Beto O’Rourke expressed surprise at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz being chosen as Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s running mate, highlighting Walz’s character as a key reason for his astonishment. O’Rourke, speaking on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” remarked that Walz’s genuine kindness and straightforward demeanor are exceptional in the realm of high-stakes politics. He contrasted Walz’s humble, effective approach with the more common traits of self-promotion and grandstanding often seen among political figures who reach such levels of prominence.
O’Rourke’s praise for Walz is noteworthy given the current political climate. Walz, who served alongside O’Rourke in the House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019, has faced criticism from Republicans, who accuse him of misrepresenting his service record and holding liberal policies that diverge from those of Harris. Despite this, O’Rourke defended Walz, citing his efforts to ensure that children in Minnesota benefit from school lunch programs and his role in the state’s decriminalization of marijuana. O’Rourke emphasized that these policies reflect Walz’s commitment to pragmatic and compassionate governance.
In his comments, O’Rourke noted that Walz’s approach to governance is marked by a focus on practical results rather than personal gain or political theater. He praised Walz’s ability to advance through the political system while maintaining integrity and a genuine concern for the well-being of others. This perspective contrasts sharply with the criticisms Walz faces from some Republican quarters, who argue that his policies lean too far to the left.
Walz’s selection as a vice-presidential candidate came after a competitive process, where he was contending with prominent figures such as Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. O’Rourke’s comments reflect a recognition of Walz’s unique qualities and contributions, despite the ongoing political debate surrounding his policies and record.
Hello: Well, I am not in love with Donald Trump but I see, as do millions of others, that he is A FAR BETTER CHOICE THAN HARRIS AND Walz. Harris did nothing pretty much for almost 4 years now. She was given the job of securing the border and she ignored that. It could have been a huge help to America to keep millions out of the country, including killers, robbers, and the uneducated. Take a close look at what is happening in England with their migrant problem. That is American in a few months especially if elect a person who favors this type thing. Harris is NOT QUALIFIED TO BE OUR PRESIDENT, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Ease
I agreed wholeheartedly with you. Harris is not even qualified to be VP much less president. She’ll be much worse on the American Taxpayer because she wants Medicare for everyone, she thinks everyone that wants Social Security should have it, she’ll tax the middle class so much most people won’t hardly have a paycheck to take home, the border will remain open, energy costs will keep rising and we’ll have to continue to take care of these illegals. This country will bankrupt under her administration. The government can’t keep spending more money each year than it brings in each year. I live on a budget and the government doesn’t seem to think a budget is important. All her promises now, are just lies. All she has promised could be done right now.
God we need you like never before! We deliverance from all the evil in our country!
