The Tim Walz VP pick
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is Harris's VP pick. WaPo says he's a great choice for his progressive policies and fresh perspective.
A Bloomberg Op agrees : Tim Walz is a solid VP pick for Kamala Harris due to his folksy, “regular guy” vibes and experience.
But National Review wasn't a fan : Walz highlights the Democrat’s “weakness for lawlessness” -- he poorly handed the violent protests Minnesota saw in 2020.
Hot Air also slammed the pick: Walz is a “ridiculous choice” due to his radical liberal views.
LA Times offered another perspective : Tim Walz is a smart VP pick, but he won't guarantee Harris victory in November. Research shows running mates rarely deliver their home state's electoral votes.

Cause of the market drop?
Global stocks plunged over the weekend amid fears that the US economy is faltering. Vox says a bad jobs report spooked investors.
But Fortune thinks AI woes drove the trend, too: The dip shows that some AI promises were overhyped.
On the other hand, Trump blames Harris for stock market slide -- calling it the “Kamala Crash”.
CNN thinks a combination of factors caused the freakout. But it's not a market crash, it's just a sign of widespread panic. Keep calm and carry on!

3 个月It’s no surprise Failed Border Czar Kamala didn’t choose Josh Shapiro, the better candidate. Her terrorist sympathizing base would not accept a Jewish guy. It is, however, very telling about the flavor of her proposed administration. Walz is an extreme liberal who supports several radical policies. - Giving illegals driver’s licenses - Giving illegals the vote - Like helping children with gender-affirming care (a.k.a. Trans Gender) - Free college if you make less than 80,000. We know it isn’t exactly free because the taxpayers' foot the bill. - He let the BLM rioters burn downtown Minneapolis. - He used a "snitch hotline" so that people could anonymously report on their neighbors for not following his extreme Covid mandates. - When Walz's Unit was rumored to be called to active duty he, according to people in his unit, 'bailed on them' and got out of it. He never went to Iraq. J. D. Vance, he is not. It is called stolen valor and it's an ugly business. Harris- Walz Tons lies, socialism, a lot fewer freedoms, and a lot of wealth redistribution. We have had three disastrous years of liberalism. Isn’t it enough?
