“Tim Walz? What a relief,” jibed Trump’s former senior advisor, Kellyanne Conway, upon hearing the news of Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential pick.
“I am proud to announce that I’ve asked Tim Walz to be my running mate. As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he’s delivered for working families like his. It’s great to have him on the team,” said Harris this afternoon, as she officially declared the 60-year-old Minnesota Governor her running mate.
Walz has labelled it “the honour of a lifetime” to join Harris on the campaign trail. “It reminds me a bit of the first day of school,” he added, “so, let’s get this done, folks!”
Is Conway bluffing or is the Harris-Walz ticket a genuine boost for the Republicans?
