Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz pictured in 1995 Nebraska mugshot after DUI arrest
A booking photo shows current Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pictured shortly after a 1995 DUI stop in Nebraska that landed him behind bars.www.foxnews.com
Nearly thirty years ago, Walz was stopped for speeding, then arrested when he blew slightly over the limit, pled guilty (to a lesser charge) and now doesn’t drink at all. This shows me he’s human, made a dumb move (while causing no harm), learned from it and committed to decades of public service thereafter. What’s not to like?
Indeed - he offered to resign, but was basically convinced by the principal not to. That's integrity - can you imagine Vance (nevermind Trump) ever doing that?
As to Shapiro - there was an argument out in Politico that he was basically showboating as a VP candidate, and that he didn't click with Harris. Walz is definitely a better choice - the kind of "real" that the Dems tend not to have (and instantly disarms the coastal elite argument).
EDIT: To add to that - there is a pic of Walz in hunting garb holding a rifle (and we already know that he served in the National Guard) making the rounds. It communicates to an essential segment of the American electorate in a language that Harris could not have done.
