Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, wagering that a former red-district congressman with a progressive streak can help her win over working-class voters in battleground states needed to beat Donald Trump in November.
“The entire country is about to see why their friends from Minnesota can’t stop bragging about Governor Walz,” Minnesota DFL Party Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “By picking a servant leader born and raised in a small town who has dedicated his career to protecting freedoms and lifting up working families, Vice President Harris has chosen the perfect foil for [Trump running mate] JD Vance and his politics of resentment.”
What he’s done in Minnesota with a 1 seat majority- universal free school meals - legal weed - carbon free electricity by 2040 - tax rebates for the working class up to $1,300 (making under $150k per year) - banned conversion therapy - red flag laws for guns - universal background checks for guns - automatic voter registration - free public college (under $150k per year) - 12 weeks paid family leave - 12 weeks paid sick leave - automatic voter registration - free public college (under $80k) - ban on PFAS (forever chemicals)
That’s fkn dope.
Why did he have red flag laws, universal background checks, and automatic voter registration twice?
And is free public college under 120k or under 80k?
2.2 billion what?
Editing to clarify
Copy/paste errors? Few duplications in there. Still a pretty impressive list
Sounds like a big government dream!
