Summary
Kamala Harris has selected her Vice President, and quite frankly, we were shocked. Many of us thought she would pick Josh Shapiro, as he is a fairly popular governor, a little more moderate, and, of course, is in a state Kamala has to win. So, from a strategic perspective, this choice doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense…or does it? Today, we will explore who exactly Tim Walz is and ask the questions…why was he picked, and how will this impact the race?

| 0:00.0 | Well, Kamala Harris has selected her VP. |
| 0:04.1 | Just keep in mind that nobody actually really selected Kamala Harris, at least not voters. |
| 0:08.1 | But she has selected her VP. |
| 0:10.3 | And honestly, everyone in this table is a little shocked. |
| 0:13.6 | We're a little shocked by this because typically when you select a VP candidate, |
| 0:16.7 | the biggest question that you're trying to ask is, does this person bring a state? Does this person |
| 0:22.7 | bring a particular demographic? Like what is the importance of this vice presidential candidate? How does it |
| 0:28.5 | positively impact your race? And we all thought she was going to pick Shapiro. But she didn't. |
| 0:35.1 | She picked Tim Walz, not Waltz, Tim Walls, governor of Minnesota. And it just, I don't know, |
| 0:41.4 | it seems a little weird. It seems a little weird. Or was it? Or is there actually a method to the |
| 0:47.4 | madness? Is there some strategic reasoning for why Tim was selected? We're going to be discussing |
| 0:52.6 | all of that and more. And we're going to get to the |
| 0:54.5 | bottom of who exactly is Tim Walz. What does he believe? How could we potentially expect him to |
| 1:00.4 | govern as a vice president, which honestly doesn't do much, or a potential presidential candidate |
| 1:04.7 | one day? How is he going to influence the administration? Well, we're going to look at his |
| 1:08.1 | past record as governor, as a congressman, and we're going to ask that question. |
| 1:12.3 | All of that and more coming up on this episode of Making the Argument. |
| 1:15.1 | I am your host, Nick Freitas with me in the studio, my beautiful bride, Tina Queen of the Bees. |
| 1:20.4 | Hello, everyone. |
| 1:21.4 | And then, of course, we have our political prognosticator and resident historian, Christian Heinz. |
| 1:26.3 | How are you doing, Christian? |
| 1:26.9 | I'm doing well. How about you? I'm doing all right. I'm doing all right. All right. Let's go ahead and |
