Have to give it to Phillips. He first wanted a governor to challenge Biden: Pritzker, Walz or Whitmer
Many heard of Whitmer because of the kidnapping attempt (why, I’ve never figured out) Pritzker is better known because of Illinois but who was Walz?
WCCO’s Murphy had a nice summary: he started as a surrogate Biden campaigner in the Midwest - Iowa, Wisconsin. After the President decision he was considered a second tier candidate. And then came the cable interviews, especially MSNBC where he used the term Weird which went viral.
