“I am pleased to share my decision: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will join our campaign as my running mate. Tim is a proven leader with an incredible track record of delivering for Minnesota families. I know he will bring that same principled leadership to our campaign and the Vice President’s office,” Kamala Harris announced her choice in an email to supporters.
Trump’s lunge
A “left-wing radical”: This is how sources from Donald Trump’s campaign, cited by CNN, define Tim Walz, chosen according to US media as Kamala Harris’s running mate. According to a source from the tycoon’s entourage, Harris “kneeled to the anti-Semitic and anti-Israel left and chose someone dangerously progressive like herself”. The pro-Trump super PAC Make America Great Again Inc wrote on social media that “Governor Tim Walz and Kamala Harris will get along very well. They are both far-left radicals who don’t know how to govern”. “Just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerous left-wing extremist, and Harris and Walz’s dream” of transforming the United States in the image of California represents “every American’s nightmare”, Karoline Leavitt, spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, said in a statement.
