Republican presidential nominee and former president, Donald Trump, has issued a response to Vice President Kamala Harris revealing her own vice presidential running mate, Tim Walz, and it’s classic. Walz is the Democratic governor of Minnesota who almost allowed Black Lives Matter activists to destroy his state’s major cities during the George Floyd riots back in 2020. And then, of course, there’s the way he handled the COVID pandemic, which included all of the leftist fixings. You know, vaccine mandates, mask mandates, six feet of distance between folks, and on the list goes.
According to The Daily Caller, Trump got on his Truth Social platform and put out a two-word response to Harris picking Walz: “THANK YOU!”
That’s exactly how a boss would respond. And he has a whole lot of reason to be grateful for Harris picking such a weak running mate. I have no doubt in my mind that JD Vance, Trump’s pick for the veep, will mop the floor with Walz during a debate. Do we even need to speculate how awful Harris would perform during a clash with Trump on live television in front of a live audience.
The Trump campaign blasted Walz as a “West Coast wannabe,” harking back to the GOP nominee’s branding of Harris as a “San Francisco liberal.”
“It’s no surprise that San Francisco Liberal Kamala Harris wants West Coast wannabe Tim Walz as her running-mate — Walz has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden State. While Walz pretends to support Americans in the Heartland, when the cameras are off, he believes that rural America is ‘mostly cows and rocks’. From proposing his own carbon-free agenda, to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars, and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda far and wide. If Walz won’t tell voters the truth, we will: just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is every American’s nightmare,” Trump Campaign Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went on to write in a statement.
The campaign wasted zero seconds putting out an ad that hit Walz, reducing him to just “another left-wing extremist.” The ad made the case that Walz would serve as nothing more than a “rubber stamp” for Harris, meaning he’d just blindly support everything she does and help drum up support for her agenda and of course cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate when the occasion pops up.
Vice President Harris had narrowed down the list of potential veeps to two: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Walz. Shapiro, a good little lap dog, posted his response to the announcement on social media.
My work here in Pennsylvania is far from finished — there is a lot more stuff I want to get done for our Commonwealth.
Over the next 90 days, I look forward to traveling all across the Commonwealth to unite Pennsylvanians behind my friends Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and defeat… pic.twitter.com/Mkc1isQTo9

I think this pick could potentially play in Trump’s favor, especially since he’s so radical he might turn off the Never-Trump folk and that’s always a good thing.
