Tim Walz touted his rural roots and said Donald Trump would take the US "backwards" as he appeared for the first time as Kamala Harris’s running mate at a raucous Democratic Party rally.

At the event in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, the party’s new nominee for vice-president said their Republican rivals in November's election were "weird as hell".

The Minnesota governor spoke in front of thousands of supporters just hours after he was announced as Ms Harris’s pick for the role.

The Trump campaign, meanwhile, was quick to attack Mr Walz as a "dangerously liberal extremist".

    Save Bangladeshi Hindus We are not good here, they are attacking our Hindu artists and common Hindu families. Many have died. No one is showing on the news.
  • They know who he is. Especially Minnesota. What are you talking about? Why are you not talking about free lunches for children? A hunter? What?

    I came to the Lord asking for his blessings as a single mom because raising my son (Joel) was an act of courage despite all the challenges. And the Lord answered my prayers with a benefiting income of $31,000 every month. To God be the glory. Joel is in school and life's been fair lately.>>>>

    Well, like Japan, let's also think about the international community while thinking about our own country first...
  • honestly I'm shocked, I thought Mark Kelly was going to be the VP but Walz seems fine also I guess. eitherway it was going to be a old dude kind of like Biden was to Obama to balance things out. Trump really blew it with Vance
