Former President Donald Trump expressed his enthusiasm over Vice President Kamala Harris's selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, labeling him a 'very liberal man' and a 'shocking pick.' Trump highlighted his belief that Walz is more radical than Harris, particularly criticizing his immigration policies, and claimed the ticket represents a desire to push the country towards communism. He also expressed that Walz's selection was insulting to Jewish people, particularly in light of other candidates like Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, being passed over. Trump recounted a past interaction with Walz during protests in 2020, suggesting he helped de-escalate a situation at Walz's home. Despite his surprise, Trump remains confident about his own election prospects in November, dismissing Walz's impact on the race. Walz's support for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and his criticism of Trump's border policies have also been noted.
