I grew up in Minnesota and used to work for the state GOP. I’m a bit surprised to see Vice President Kamala Harris choose Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate. He boasts a progressive record, and a poor one, at that. Plus, she didn’t really need Minnesota’s electoral votes — she had already spiked 10 points. But Harris likely could have benefited from pairing with Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA).
