I really hope this isn't the reason

It sounds really dumb

I don’t think that’s the actual reason versus Fetterman trying to leak this to prove that he has some juice

That boy cooked

Low key if it’s jail they will push it back until after the election.

That would be my guess

Fetterman is probably a reliable vote, but good grief he is a self-centered clown at times.

this assumption that Tim Walz won't try build his profile to run for president after Kamala wins i think is dumb and naive.

Obama picked Biden because they thought he wouldn't be running for president again also.

he's a politician. he wants to be president.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

judging from that graphic, I think Kamala made this decisions at the last possible second.

no way anyone spent more than 5 mins on that.

Waltz’s family and friends were telling people that he was the pick yesterday, so think this theory is wrong

once again it’s easier to say what they said than they didn’t like him from the vetting.



Shapiro had a lot of heavy hitters supporting him, but even as just politics nerds we were seeing signs that the vetting wasn’t going well for him. if you add in Kamala likes Walz it makes more sense.

if that's true they must not have actual art directors or graphic designers hired yet.

that's like sub intern level. and i've worked with a lot of interns.

if she vibes with him more that's a totally valid reason.

but the ambition thing would be stupid. he's prob gunna run for president at some point.

Walz campaigning in the swing states

 

[mplsdunk]

Idk, dude shows his face when needed but he’s not in your face. I barely hear from him and I live in mn. He’s low key.

There are a lot the things she could have said. However, calling him to ambitious and saying the video was the last straw is the least politically damaging thing to him she could have said.

I’ve worked in HR and you always give a boilerplate answer when you reject somebody for a job because it only makes a bad situation worse.

The "Harris Walz" graphic leaked last night.

 

[RustyShackleford]

One thing Walz does is that it really undercuts JD Vance's "elites" attacks.

 

[Wargames]

I don’t know what’s more offensive, the message or the layout

 

[mplsdunk]

Jd Vance is toast tbh, once it came out he was plowing couches like an Ohio farmer he was cooked.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

I think it was just getting obvious Shapiro had too much baggage (fair or unfair). You don’t want interviews turning into questions about how your VP handled a sexual harassment case, or if you agree with him on school vouchers, or him comparing protesters to the KKK (which also, WTF? )

No reason to give the GOP ammo when they’re clearly desperate.

really makes me question her decision-making.

 

[elpablo21]

 

[Wargames]

Pelosi, Manchin, and Bernie support Walz. He’s a bigger unity pick than I thought. The big tent party seems to be running on all gears and ready to pull a voltron at the DNC.

 

[sonoftony]

I had no idea he did this but that's my future VP!!

 

[mplsdunk]

That pic

 

[pmatic]

Not my VP.

Mans is dressed like the Joker's lawyer

I approve of this fit.
