Who Is Tim Walz? The Man Who Memed His Way Into Becoming Kamala’s V.P.

Kamala Harris has chosen her running mate, and it’s Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Harris announced the decision Tuesday morning. “As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he’s delivered for working families like his,” she stated. “It’s great to have him on the team.”It’s a fun announcement, given both Walz’s progressive credentials and how savvy he is with his attacks on Republicans. He has effectively criticized Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in TV interviews, even venturing into enemy territory on Fox News. And he’s credited with first inspiring Democrats’ “weird” attacks on Trump and the GOP, giving the party one of its most effective attack lines in years.I’m telling you: these guys are weird. pic.twitter.com/fvNRNf7T7T— Tim Walz (@Tim_Walz) July 24, 2024Walz’s internet presence has also led his supporters to turn him into incredible meme content.It’s a brat summer, we’re back pic.twitter.com/TIdMtYYIsz— Liz Charboneau (@lizchar) July 25, 2024Another Tim Walz Gem pic.twitter.com/KOJ3mrExbA— David Hogg
