Why ‘vanilla’ Tim Walz is the ingredient to beat Trump: Dem lawmakers

WASHINGTON — Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) is a seemingly safe, even bland, Democratic vice presidential pick.

And that has many Democrats cheering.

Walz will face down GOP vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance, and Democrats who served with Walz during his 12 years in Congress say the two-term Minnesota governor is ready.

“You've got somebody who's nuts and bolts, who's meat and potatoes, and that's the governor, Gov. Walz,” Rep. Lou Correa (D-CA) told Raw Story in a phone interview.
