Vice President Kamala Harris announced her running mate pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), on Tuesday morning. MSNBC’s Morning Joe wasted no time in showering praise on the Governor for his apparently numerous positive qualities, insisting he would help secure the win for the Harris campaign with a “twinkle in his eye.”
Co-host Mika Brzezinski announced the breaking news from the Associated Press, immediately celebrating the Governor and how “he brings to the table a background that is very down to earth and connected with people and their daily lives, as a former teacher.” However, co-host Joe Scarborough wasn’t convinced about the “interesting pick” and expected that the choice “opens up a number of issues for the Democratic ticket to now defend.”
The Financial Times’s Ed Luce was on board with the “good pick” and praised the fact that Walz “talks in a way that isn't perceived by Republicans, or non-Democrats in general, to be looking down on them. He talks in a very engaging, everyday manner, very practical, very common sense.”
