We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Walz’s background as a military veteran and a successful high school football coach, along with his ability to connect with both rural and urban voters, is expected to bolster Harris’s campaign. Walz has been recognized for his progressive policies in Minnesota, including advocating for abortion rights, climate change goals, and expanded paid leave for workers. However, he is also known for having a pragmatic approach, maintaining a centrist stance on several issues during his time in Congress, which could help bridge the gap with moderate voters.
The decision to bring Walz on board comes as Harris aims to reinvigorate the Democratic Party’s base following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race. Harris and Walz will face former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, in the November 5th election.
