    Tim Walz has been in continuous service to our nation and/or his state since 1981.
  • @suomynona4607
    No one has ever described Don the Con or JP Mandel as "genuine" or "caring"... "loathsome" and "weird", sure.
  • I remember my favorite teacher in Highschool. Mr. Stephens. We totally believed in me. Were I got my 1st A. He would of made an excellent public servant as well. Excellent Human being. I am voting for Harris/Walz in his Honor! I am an Independent in Arizona!
  • @saigejones3363
    Thank you Joy for your courage to speak out and Lawrence.😀
  • @gevowavemagnet
    "native rural Nebraska" is an understatement. He taught in the town of Alliance, Ne. I worked there for the Burlington Northern railroad during the mid to late 1980's. A city with fine, hard working people, but very isolated, to say the least. If you can tough it out in a place like Alliance Nebraska, you can handle anything. Godspeed, Tim Walz!

    "In Minnesota we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make. Even if we wouldn't make the same choices. There's a golden rule, Mind your own business" Governor Walz

    Tim Walz is just a younger version of President Biden.
  • @emydonavan6254
    I’m just so thrilled that we’re putting forward genuinely good people who deal in joy!
  • @bramwellt
    That interview made me smile. Thank you Joy.
  • They are going to apply the Fourteenth Amendment to Trump regarding his insurrection!
  • @Rmer716
    I like how he called him “Mr. Walz”
  • @lana4529
    Yes Joy, love the energy. Love the fact he's a former teacher and coach and more. Fantastic choice VP Harris. Harris/ Walz, "Freedom." Just love, love the vibe now.
  • Say what you want about the Minnesota Governor, but one thing is absolutely certain -- he's as sharp as a tack! :face-red-heart-shape::face-red-heart-shape:
  • @elaineisabelle427
