From Fox News: Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential bid has political strategists second guessing many of her campaign choices, including her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.

“The choice of Walz was only one of many disastrous mistakes but symptomatic of one larger problem — the Democratic Party leadership is too scared to say no to the hard-left progressive wing of the party,” Julian Epstein, longtime Democratic operative and former chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News Digital.

“This hard left opposes commonsense solutions that [Pennsylvania] Gov. [Josh] Shapiro supports — charter schools, for example. Or defeating terrorists rather than aping their talking points and positions, which allow them to stay in power and rearm for the next genocidal attack,” Epstein continued. “It’s the hard-left progressive wing that looks first to welfare and redistribution rather than economic growth, and to cultural extremism on migration and gender deeply out of touch with the American electorate. Walz was a really bad choice for sure, but their choice was part of a deeper problem.”

Rob Bluey, president and executive editor of The Daily Signal, told Fox News Digital that Walz being added to the ticket was a significant error in judgment.


Bluey said normally, the choice of a running mate has little impact, “But in the case of Tim Walz, it proved to be a disastrous decision that doomed Kamala Harris from the moment she made it.”

Harris-Walz surrogate Lindy Li, a member of the DNC National Finance Committee and PA commissioner, told Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich, “People are wondering tonight what would have happened had [Josh] Shapiro been on the ticket. And not only in terms of Pennsylvania. He’s a famously a moderate. So that would have signaled to the American people that she is not the San Francisco liberal that Trump said she was, but she went with someone actually to her left Minnesota….In the eyes of the American people, Walz was the governor who oversaw the protests.”

Li also told Heinrich, “She [Harris] knows it was a mistake to say on The View that she couldn’t think of a single thing that she would do differently from the Biden administration. That was opener for her to show Americans that she’s going to get tough on the border, that she’s going to take drastic measures to bring down inflation. That was her chance.”

Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna reportedly told MSNBC that the Harris campaign made a major mistake by not doing the interview with podcaster Joe Rogan.

And MSNBC’s Symone Sanders slammed the Democrat Party for casting Joe Biden aside.

“I will just note that it is probably not the best idea that Democrats orchestrated a very public stab fest, a proverbial stabbing in the front of the sitting President of the United States of America, and then didn’t use him in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania,” she declared.
