14. I've become a Walz fan

He's so down to earth and will help a lot with the Midwest. Plus, he really helps sell the "They're weird, we're normal" narrative.

Shapiro is good, but I get more of big city vibe. Not exactly what we need.

Keeping fingers crossed that its Walz... indigovalley Aug 2024 #6

I didn't realize it was up to rueters to decide that. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #7

They're deciding nothing Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #42

Uh-huh. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #44

Both good choices and I'm honestly torn democrattotheend Aug 2024 #8

Whoever she chooses will be great... Bettie Aug 2024 #9

All day keep hearing from Scarborough, Chris Christie and Bill Kristol in support of Shapiro. Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #10

That Bill Kristol is picking Shapiro is a giant clue to run away Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #43

Run Forrest Run! Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #46

That's my 1st and 2nd choice! TheFarseer Aug 2024 #12

If that's true, then I prefer Walz if Pete is out of consideration. LuvLoogie Aug 2024 #13

Feisty, funny, and very smart. yorkster Aug 2024 #19

But one who could make it palatable and moonscape Aug 2024 #45

I've become a Walz fan tinrobot Aug 2024 #14

Love both options Johnny2X2X Aug 2024 #15

I hope it's Shapiro but will be just as happy with Walz JI7 Aug 2024 #16

I worry about Walz DUI. Self Esteem Aug 2024 #17

He has a DUI 30 years ago and has stopped drinking since so I think people can relate to that. Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #24

I don't think citing a right wing site like Alpha News is actually giving you the correct information. Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #33

That wouldn't matter claudette Aug 2024 #56

And it's a teaching lesson. He stopped drinking. Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #61

Nobody cares kcr Aug 2024 #39

In the midwest this is in his favor. Irish_Dem Aug 2024 #52

Either would be good. iemanja Aug 2024 #18

This household (2) prefers Walz, Shapiro has some unpopular Israel stances, perhaps? Brainfodder Aug 2024 #20

Does Harris personally know Walz? liberalmediaaddict Aug 2024 #21

Don't know about Harris but Shapiro and Walz are popular with Biden. He thinks Walz is a blast. Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #34

I'll be shocked if she picks Shapiro Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #47

If this election is truly about passing the torch then Waltz is too old, but I assume is was only lip service krawhitham Aug 2024 #22

Waltz is just a few months older then Kamala Kaleva Aug 2024 #25

Yeah, I know. And 68 is too old to run for POTUS krawhitham Aug 2024 #71

Has he declared his intentions? Kaleva Aug 2024 #75

Walz just looks old liberalmediaaddict Aug 2024 #36

Are you calling bald people old? Hell I started going Emile Aug 2024 #59

No I'm calling 68 too old to run for POTUS. Having two boomers on the ticket does not feel like passing the torch krawhitham Aug 2024 #72

LOL, 68 is young. Emile Aug 2024 #74

Walz is the same age as Harris n/t kcr Aug 2024 #40

Add two 4 year terms. 68 is too old to run for POTUS krawhitham Aug 2024 #73

WTF Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #48

I'd prefer Walz but will be OK if it's Shapiro or one of the other top picks, all of whom are highplainsdem Aug 2024 #23

I'm fine with whoever Kamala picks Kaleva Aug 2024 #26

me too Celerity Aug 2024 #64

I would support either of them but am pulling for Shapiro. OLDMDDEM Aug 2024 #27

Cool!! ColinC Aug 2024 #29

VP pick Sequoia Aug 2024 #31

VP pick Sequoia Aug 2024 #32

Shapiro is the one Republicans dont want her to choose Sugarcoated Aug 2024 #35

Excellent point liberalmediaaddict Aug 2024 #37

Funny. The Rs for Harris seem to love him Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #49

Yep, I witnessed their enthusiasm this morning on Morning Joe. Emile Aug 2024 #57

Because they want to win Sugarcoated Aug 2024 #63

I never would look to Republicans for their political views! Emile Aug 2024 #65

They know what it takes to win Sugarcoated Aug 2024 #66

How did Joe Biden and Kamala win? They had Emile Aug 2024 #68

Not from what I've seen kcr Aug 2024 #62

Everyone in my family want Walz as VP. Emile Aug 2024 #38

I think both are great bdjhawk Aug 2024 #50

Walz became my #1, I started with Buttigieg at #1 and Shapiro at #2 ms liberty Aug 2024 #53

What about Mark Kelly? PoindexterOglethorpe Aug 2024 #54

Wow! claudette Aug 2024 #55
