Walz is even more of a "regular guy" than Biden

And to me, that was one of the greatest things about Joe. Governor Walz is a teacher, veteran, coach, supporter of the 2nd amendment in a responsible way, family man and so on. How can anyone dislike this guy?

Watched it on FOX, they were taken aback and didn’t know quite what to say afterwards.

I met him before his run for governor here in MN.At a small fundraiser at Glueks bar on 6th St in downtown MPLS. I wasn’t expecting much. Went in. There were about 25 of usin the backroom.

As soon as this guy walked init was obvious… This dude is other level. But also super approachable, down to earth, and genuine as they come.

I was blown away.

when Kamala was picked as Joes successor and the question of who would be her running mate here I threw out Walz’s name thinking that I would get shot down. That didn’t happen although not many k ew him.

BUT…. Just like in that bar, once people got to know him and hear what he had to say, people understood. This guy is the real deal.
