The Tim Walz verdict is in
When VP Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate earlier today, the reaction from social media and mainstream media was very positive. But was this merely a matter of trying to put on a unified face, or was the Walz pick truly inspiring?
Now the verdict is in, in terms of people “voting” with their small dollar donations. The Harris-Walz campaign has announced that it’s raised a stunning $20 million in the few hours since the running mate announcement was made. Even half that much would be a record setting day. And for that matter, the day is still ongoing. The number will be much higher than $20 million by the end of the day.
So there you have it. The announcement of Tim Walz has lit a fire under the Democratic Party base and the broader Kamala Harris coalition. Money is pouring into the Harris-Walz campaign, because people are just that excited to get behind this ticket. Now let’s go win this.
