From Breitbart: Former President Barack Obama and twice failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton released statements praising Kamala Harris’s vice presidential pick on Tuesday after she announced her selection of radical-left Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D).
Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly hand-picked Walz as her running mate, allying herself with the most far-left choice among those on her short list. She is expected to introduce the Midwestern governor, former U.S. Army non-commissioned officer, and union supporter at a rally Tuesday evening in Philadelphia. Then they will begin a tour of key battleground states.
Obama called Walz an “ideal partner” for Harris, and appeared to make a veiled stab at former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).
Sharing a copy of his statement, Obama declared, “Like Vice President Harris, Governor @Tim_Walz believes that government works to serve us. Not just some of us, but all of us. That’s what makes him an outstanding governor, and that’s what will make him an even better vice president. Michelle and I couldn’t be happier for Tim and Gwen, their family, and our country.”

Defeated 2016 Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton also celebrated Harris’s decision.
“I’m thrilled to see Tim Walz join the Democratic ticket. From providing free meals for schoolkids to implementing paid family leave in Minnesota, he’s about doing good in all the ways you can. He’ll be an incredible partner to our first woman president. Let’s go win this,” Clinton wrote.
