Hillary Clinton Praises Harris’ Pick of Tim Walz As Running Mate

Hillary Clinton has expressed her support for Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.

Clinton, along with other left-wing political and entertainment figures, has praised the choice.

“I’m thrilled to see Tim Walz join the Democratic ticket. From providing free meals for schoolkids to implementing paid family leave in Minnesota, he’s about doing good in all the ways you can. He’ll be an incredible partner to our first woman president. Let’s go win this,” she posted on the X platform.

Former President Barack Obama added on Instagram: “Like Vice President Harris, Governor @TimWalz believes that government works to serve us. Not just some of us, but all of us. That’s what makes him an outstanding governor, and that’s what will make him an even better vice president. Michelle and I couldn’t be happier for Tim and Gwen, their family, and our country.”

Several other leftists, including comedian and former U.S. senator from Minnesota Al Franken, actor and producer Rob Reiner, “Bridesmaids” director Paul Feig, actress Yvette Nicole Brown, and documentarian Ken Burns, have also praised the pick.

While Hollywood and the political left celebrate Harris’ choice of Walz, former President Donald Trump appears pleased for different reasons.

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany says her former boss is eager to challenge Harris and Walz over their far-left records, which she claims are losing favor with many Americans.

“This is a stunning choice. I imagine there’s a lot of cheering at Mar-a-Lago at the moment. Look, Tim Walz, he’s no one to scoff at. He unseated a six-term Republican in Congress, he won a conservative district. He began as a moderate and then he had a radical transformation as soon as he got a trifecta in Minnesota. I think it is fair to call him a progressive in sheep’s clothing,” McEnany said.

“When you look at his record over the last few years, what you see are transgender surgeries for minors, carbon electrical grid by 2040, driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants. In function, his abortion policy allows abortion until birth. These are policies that are far to the left of America. And as John McCormick at The Wall Street Journal pointed out, Kamala Harris has to do the exact opposite of what Tim Walz did."

"Tim Walz became more progressive. Kamala Harris is trying to become more moderate. But Republicans will say, ‘You have shed all your progressive policies, but yet you chose a progressive instead of the guy who outperformed Donald Trump and Joe Biden in Pennsylvania, and that man’s name is Josh Shapiro,’” she added.

“So, the word coming out of the Kamala Harris camp to reporters was ‘chemistry.’ She wanted someone with whom she had chemistry. I would love to know what Obama said to her on the phone because this time last cycle, four years ago, Joe Biden was having apprehensions about choosing Kamala Harris,” she continued.

She concluded: “He called Obama, he expressed these reservations to Obama, per CNN, and Obama said back to him, ‘None of that is as important as winning.’ So I wonder what Obama said. Because if this is a chemistry choice, that’s fantastic if you’ve got chemistry, but if you don’t make it to Pennsylvania Avenue in two months, the chemistry doesn’t matter. So I’ve got to believe this was an innate decision of how she was feeling, but feelings should go out the window when you’re looking at the path to 270.”
