Former President Trump welcomed Vice President Harris’s decision to add Minnesota Gov.
Tim Walz (D) to the Democratic ticket, calling it a “shocking pick.”
“I would say my reaction is I can’t believe it. I never thought I was going to be the one who was picked,” Trump said Wednesday morning in an interview on Fox News’s “Fox and Friends.”
“He’s a very liberal man, and he’s a shocking pick,” the former president added. “I could not be more thrilled.”
Trump called Walz a “smarter version” of Harris and “about the same as Bernie Sanders,” referring to the independent senator from Vermont.
Walz’s voting record has shown he’s much more moderate than Sanders.
The GOP nominee also attacked Walz as weak on immigration and “very heavy into transgender.” Walz has signed legislation as governor of the North Star State protecting access to gender-affirming care.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
Tim Walz is only half Jewish. I guess that’s the new cut off for the Democratic Party.
Media are painting Walz as a moderate but the truth about him is coming out.

They are so pissed. The last thing they wanted because it hits too close to home.
Is that why he had a meltdown yesterday? If he's only doing "on the phone" interviews, shouldn't MTG be asking for proof of life?
