Seems like a good choice from where I am (which is, granted, the other side of the ocean). Republicans want to depict Democrats as dangerous extremists, but Walz comes across as a friendly dad, so that just won’t stick. No one will care about his policy record, they’ll just sound weird talking about that stuff.
His radical agenda has been providing students with free school lunches, codifying the decades-long right to abortions, and legalizing weed. Obviously the Right disagrees with some of those, but their objections are, as we have said, “weird”.
Thank god. Massive footgun dodged.
hell YES Now I might be a bit biased because i’ve already voted for Walz twice, but he was 100% the right choice here. My read is that home state advantage does not matter that much, and Walz has shown that he is the right pick in every other way that matters.
Why would home state advantage not matter much despite it being a swing state? (along with Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin).
If you look at the historical data, home state advantage is only like 1/8 as strong for VP pick as it is for the presidential candidate. Now, this could still be enough to make a difference in Pennsylvania, but there were other factors that made Shapiro a bad pick imo.
I am feeling the Kamala campaign like I was feeling the Biden presidency up until October 2023. A series of pleasant surprises.
Glad to hear it. I wasn’t super particular, but I wanted someone with a military background as her VP.
