Have you bothered to look into his voting history at all or are you just parroting what Right Wing media is telling you?
His record in the House is very centrist and he's one of the few Dems that voted to hold Holder accountable for Fast & Furious.

From my standpoint...
I too am thrilled that Kamala picked the worst of her options.
Although, I'm not really surprised.

If Shapiro can't make a noticeable difference in Pennsylvania, why would she pick him ...
Walz walks a fine line between Progressive and centrist
He's also won the Internet over, with Twitter and Tik Tok being flooded with wholesome memes. Something in stark contrast to the memes being made about Vance.
There's pretty much no downside to Walz.

If that's what he wanted then that's his choice and he chose Harris.
So what?

It is her critics, they don't have anything else on her other than maybe her border issues, so they make fun of her smile, laugh, that she's not black enough, that she hates jews, that she's a dei hire, etc...

Or maybe it's because her resume is quite impressive? And Biden wanted to have a female VP?

I don't need right wing media to do my thinking for me. I understand this is a foreign paradigm to you X.
Only need the words of the person themself.

I told you why should would pick Walz. He gives her a unified party. Shapiro causes friction due to his more Conservative policies.
Kelly was ditched because Harris wasn't happy with how he abandoned Biden and she disagreed with him on some policy matters. Shapiro couldn't guarantee Pennsylvania and Harris disagreed with him on some policy matters. Her and Walz had similar policy positions, they get along well, and he solidified a unified party.
This isn't hard to grasp why she went with him.

And Walz being picked didn't change the fact that Minnesota was already (D).
So that doesn't fly.

ISRAEL. Walz is a practicing Jew who supports our ally Israel and who worked with the IDF. He has also made statements supporting Israel whereas Harris is a Hamas hugging mess, quoting Hamas propaganda and dis'n Israel.
This isn't hard to grasp why she went with him.
Yeah ... already stated ... both are freak'n far left socialists and she went with Walz because he's NOT A PRACTICING JEW WHO SUPPORTS ISRAEL ... she knows he would lose her Michigan and Wisconsin even though he's a better choice.

The simple fact is that Walz has broader appeal. She could've either selected someone that might have given her a state, with no guarantees, or someone that gives her a coalition. She chose the coalition.

Her job was to investigate the root cause of immigration from three Central American countries. Since being given that job, immigration from those countries have dropped by 50%
