Vice President Harris is showing us the politics of whats possible.

It reminds me a bit of the first day of school.

Hes also been a choice of progressives in the party.

Walz and Harris will appear together at a Philadelphia rally later today.

CNN first reported on the choice of Walz.

Vance as weird took off as a Harris campaign talking point.

Humphrey and Mondale each later won the Democratic nomination for president but lost in the general election.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, appearing on MSNBCsMorning Joe, called Walz wonderful.

To characterize him as left is so unreal, she said.

He is right down the middle.

Hes a heartland of America Democrat.

He has a great vision for our country.

Its about working class families, rural America, its about our veterans.

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D.

Trumps campaign quickly labeled Walz a dangerously liberal extremist.

That said, other potential choices also had drawbacks.
