That is the pick per CNN

Ticks a lot of boxes ,and the party seems united behind this pick , progressives and centrists, I like it .

Has this been confirmed ashie? Your post seems a little premature. Links?

I'm seeing it all over the place, including in fund-raising emails from the DNC.

I'm busting ashie's balls, it was reported here at 8:58 AM.

I was late!!

Walz gave his introductory speech and knocked it out of the park. He's going to be fun on the campaign trail.

He even made a couch joke!

And he referenced Warren Zvon apparently ( he's a big fan)

Our Warren Zevon? Or the other one?

A tip for the governor: Unbutton your jacket before raising your arms.

He's the uncle you want to be with at the family reunion.
Vance is the uncle you want to keep away from the kids.

I have to admit I was originally on Team Astronaut Kelly, but after watching Walz you get the feeling he was the perfect choice.

"Crime was up under the Trump Administration and that's not even counting the crimes HE committed!" Bazinga! He'll be an attack dog, but he'll do it with a smile on his face.

And as one person put it, "I personally approve the selection of someone who once supervised a lunchroom."

Walz' original quote was "If I can handle a school lunchroom for 20 years, I can handle anything".

Someone who actually worked a real job is so refreshing. Much like AOC. They just feel like real people.

Walz also admits to being a bad golfer, which clinches it for me.

Governor Walz has been revealed to be, as a Minnesotan of a certain age, a longtime fan of Twin Tone bands such as The Replacements and Hüsker Dü.

Last week there was a picture of Kamala outside a record store and one of the albums she had bought was The Replacements.
That could have been a clue.

She herself is a Replacement, so there's that.

Get the Replacements to play the Inaugural Ball.

Interesting tidbit I read recently - he's the first candidate on the Dem ticket without a law degree since Jimmy Carter.

The Vantz is criticizing Walz on his military record - that he didn't see action.
He strikes me as the kind of prick officer that would have been fragged by his own troops in 'Nam.

That's part of ongoing memification of a trip the vice president took to HR Records in DC. When a reporter outside asked what she had bought, she pulled out a whole bunch of classic jazz on original vinyl — not inexpensive stuff. So an enterprising dude created a website where you can generate a picture of Vice President Harris endorsing your favorite record.
