Meet Tim Walz, Harris’ VP Pick Who First Called Trump ‘Weird’
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is a true dark horse: an unassuming, nerdy former high school teacher, military veteran and politician who is, gosh darnit, a nice guy.
Few ordinary Americans outside his home state had ever heard of the staunch progressive, much less considered him vice presidential material, until he helped pivot the Democratic messaging against Donald Trump from “threat to democracy” to plain old “weird.”
One thing he shares in common with J.D. Vance: Walz loves a good old (diet) Mountain Dew, his drink of choice after he gave up alcohol following a DUI in 1995.
