While Democratic voters think they have someone in Tim Walz who can effectively make the case that Donald Trump, JD Vance and the rest of the GOP are weird, Democrats in Congress had another reason they were ecstatic about Kamala Harris selecting Walz as her vice presidential nominee: He’s a House guy — and they, personally, know and like him.
“He’s extremely popular with Democratic members,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, who briefly served in the House with Walz, told NOTUS. “He’s a super funny and smart guy, and he will be a natural.”
In many ways, Walz’s vice presidential credentials could have been written by ChatGPT. An Army National Guard veteran. A former geography teacher, football coach and Gay-Straight Alliance adviser. A governor of a midwestern state. A dad. A husband. And, most importantly to Democrats in the House, one of them.
