Walz — Comer Opens Congressional Investigation of Walz trips to China

My feeling is that if Wisconsin and Michigan are going to go blue, then so too will Pennsylvania. I know it's technically and theoretically entirely possible for Pennsylvania to go red while the other two go blue, but I find that to be a very, very unlikely scenario, as I highly doubt that 1. Shapiro isn't going to campaign hard for Harris in PA, and 2. that Walz wouldn't be seen as very relatable to Pennsylvanians.

If this ticket wins, it would be two consecutive winning presidential tickets without an Ivy League alumnus on it.
 
As someone who won’t be voting for the ticket either way (so I’m not their target audience), I’m disappointed it isn’t Shapiro because Shapiro is the kind of politician I’ve really grown to like as my own political views have evolved recently. I like the pragmatic centrist governors like Cooper, Shapiro, Beshear, Hogan, etc regardless of which party designation they have.

Someone like Shapiro on the top of the ticket is what it would take to get me to actually vote Dem, but him being VP would’ve put him in position to potentially be at the top of the ticket by 2032.
 
I’m sure Vance will debate him “anywhere anytime” as long as it’s on Fox News with Sean Hannity as the moderator in front of a crowd of vetted Maga’s.
 
And he’s experienced. 12 years in the House. Re-elected as Governor, beating his opponent by ~8% in a purplish state.

But older so doesn’t close the door to others on the Dem bench for (hopefully) 2032 and beyond.
 
I knew very little about Walz until recently. I listened to an interview with him on the Ezra Klein show podcast yesterday. He is definitely very liberal, especially when it comes to government spending, but he also comes across as one of the most down-to-earth, red blooded American, sit down and have a beer with you kind of guys I have ever heard.
 
So out of curiosity, flipped it over to Fox News.

Shapiro should have been the pick…Most Left-Wing Ticket in US History…Stood by While Floyd Protest Violence Out of Control…Walz A Massive Gift to Republicans.

Time to crank up the hate/fear factor.

Kinda like Sherrod Brown but without the raspy voice, and it seems the Walz household owns an iron.

He can still be at the top of the ticket in 2032. I don’t see Walz running for POTUS after 8 years as VP, and even if he does I doubt the Democratic Party votes for another old guy anytime soon.
 
I love Walz's personality. He seems like a genuinely good dude and comes off as very personable and down to earth. And Minnesota is a great example of triumph of liberal policy at the state level. I still wonder if Shapiro would have been a better choice politically (he's younger and likely would have delivered PA) but this pick should help keep the left wing of the party feeling engaged and excited.
