"It was absent," Minnesota GOP Chair David Hann told Fox News Digital about Walz’s leadership as the city of Minneapolis was destroyed by Black Lives Matter rioters in 2020, resulting in hundreds of buildings being destroyed and an in damage....

“I prefer Kelly like 100 times,” said Leyva, a lifelong Democrat who became an independent at the beginning of Trump’s term in office. “I don’t think he’s that extreme like the other guys.” In Arizona, every vote will be critical. The state is no stranger to nail-biter races, including in 2020 when President Joe Biden bested Trump by fewer than 11,000 votes. Both parties are bracing for a similar photo finish this year. “These last few months are going to feel like years, and it is tough to see anyone...

Some Minnesotans don’t recognize Gov. Tim Walz in the vaunted coverage he’s received since becoming Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris’s pick for vice president this week. Walz, 60, is a self-described “Minnesota Lutheran,” belonging to the mainline Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ECLA), according to Religion News Service. Profiles of the former teacher turned politician are punctuated with descriptors like folksy and avuncular.

He's the new VP pick. To his students, he's Mr Walz Minnesota Governor Tim Walz could be America's next vice-president. Nobody is more enthusiastic about it than former students in his small-town, midwest classroom. At Mankato West High School, years before he joined the political scene, a young Mr Walz taught geography and social studies, supervised the lunchroom and coached the football team. The Harris campaign has sought to highlight Mr Walz's career as a teacher, even though he served six terms in Congress before he returned to Minnesota to...

Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday announced her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who immediately set social media ablaze as unearthed clips and headlines exposing his "radical" political career went viral. The Minnesota Democrat, who was being hyped up to Harris by the far-left faction of her party, including lawmakers like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., accompanied Harris during a Philadelphia campaign rally Tuesday evening kicking off their swing state tour across multiple states.

Megyn Kelly told viewers on Wednesday she was “scared” of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, arguing he was “the most radical” person the Democratic Party could find to serve as Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate. On The Megyn Kelly Show, Wednesday, Kelly said, “I’ve been thinking about Walz since yesterday, and he’s the most radical they could find on the trans issue. As I said yesterday, he’s another Gavin Newsom. There’s just almost no daylight between those two, if any at all, which is an issue very important to...

Reporters on the scene are observing that the crowd for the Harris-Walz Michigan event is the biggest they’ve seen for a Democratic campaign since 2016. Here is a picture of the crowd: JD Vance drew what was estimated to be a crowd of a couple hundred people 30 miles outside of Detroit, while Harris and Walz already spoke to a crowd of 12,000 in Wisconsin. Comparisons to the 2008 Obama campaign should not be thrown around lightly, but there is a special energy that continues to build around the Harris...

His protégé, Mondale, made history when he mounted his own presidential run in 1984 and named Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York as his running mate, the first woman on a major-party presidential ticket. Now, Walz has joined a ticket that could lead to the nation’s first female president. Humphrey and Mondale, who were inextricably linked for decades, had very different experiences as vice president. Humphrey served as the No. 2 to domineering President Lyndon B. Johnson and “suffered the brunt of Johnson’s unpredictable wrath” for suggesting an exit...

On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris announced that radical left-wing Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota would be her running mate in the 2024 presidential election. As Townhall covered, Walz supports abortion up til birth, transgender surgeries for children, socialism, among other radical left-wing ideas. However, one new poll published Tuesday asked respondents if they were familiar with Walz and his record, to which most respondents said that they did not know enough about Walz to form an opinion on him. Another poll released Wednesday found that voters are split about...
