    Watching Tim Walz get the news in the middle of a live post debate interview that Taylor Swift was endorsing Kamala & him was amazing.

    His reaction is so genuine and joyfull. You can tell he’s on the verge of happy tears.

    Since I know Tim Walz doesn’t drink, I’ll just invite him over for a friend’s & family cookout instead and feed him too much carne asada.

      I heard he was a great pick, and I’ve read about several of his policies, and he seems solid on the policies IMO.
      But now I’ve seen 3 videos with him, and I can see why he is so popular.

        I don’t if the story is true but I heard in the finale day before she made her decision she interviewed both Josh Shapiro and Tim, and when she did Josh want to know what the divisions of responsibilities were going to be and what he would be able to take charge of. And Tim walked in and opened with “So what do you want me to do?” and I think that says everything I need to know about him.

          He also specifically told Kamala not to pick him if it wouldn’t help her win. He was willing to forgo being VP if it was better for the country.

      I saw that! Had never watched either candidate speak, I was voting for them no matter what, but I was stunned by the both of them.
