    The lady they interviewed is the most Minnesota looking democrat I’ve ever seen
  • @stickshiftt9127
    You all found a great citizen to interview ... Beth was great

    Im sure he won't be talking about Diet Mountain Dew.

    60+ Y/O White male from West Virginia all in for Mr. Walz's success. I can appreciate honesty and integrity when I see it!

    My God but I can't stop smiling. This guy is so incredibly good as a candidate, but even more so, as our number two. He is so smart, so kind, so decent, so good-humored, so commonsense oriented, and what a master at responding to craziness and meanness without going down to their level. He simply smiles and tells it like it is---the way I'd bet about 70% of us think, you know? And hear those screams? Those are coming from the Republicans who have insisted on hanging onto Trump---that is the sound of their goose being cooked. They are now done. Toast. Enough. We're far better than they would like the world and their supporters to believe we are.

    As a former public school teacher, I am so happy that a former teacher, coach, military SENIOR NCO vet (my dad is among this club), and a protector of children (love love love he signed the bill to FEED Kids for FREE during the school hours) is going to show AMERICA what INTEGRITY, HONOR, FAMILY VALUES, and TRUE PATRIOTISM means! He is America's American!!!!

    You see that breath of relief? That’s how at least almost 4/5 of the country feels!
  • @vidargarlie9765
    As a non-American I'm so relieved! Walzing into the White House 1-2-3, 1-2-3.... :) Also notice the difference on how this woman eloquently responds to why she likes the VP pick, as opposed to how the average MAGA voter responds in those kinds of interviews...

    A New York'r, who was hoping Harris picked Gov. Walz, I'm so excited about this now sound ticket. Gov. Walz knows how to stand up, fight and WIN; he's a TEACHER, a COACH, a MILITARY MAN and has held an Executive Office as GOVERNOR of MINNESOTA....he's an impressive, loyal, giving human being and he represents as an American Leader. Congrats to our next VP Walz of the United States. LET'S GO!!!!
  • Thrilled (and admittedly surprised that the Dems did the right thing)! Cheers from the Pacific Northwest. I've loved the upper Midwest every time I've been there.
  • @Teas.Louise
    Pretty sure that bare chested jogger hadn't planned on being a permanent part of history this morning :D :D
  • @annadavis5388
    I like him and more with this woman telling us how she sees him. Good for the ticket and good for the US!
  • As people gets to know Walz, they will compare and contrast and see the difference… great choice!
  • @rachely5428
    This is nice to hear a Fox station not bash Harris and her new pick for VP. I respect that. Thank you. 😊
  • @Pamela39515
    Beth was very well spoken and what a wonderful supportive message about Governor Walz!
  • @sunstarsmoon
    Might be the most educated and well spoken person off the street interview I've ever seen. I don't know anything about Tim Walz but sounds good so far.
  • @MrTimjd123
    Greetings from Florida: HE IS A GREAT CHOICE.
