Trump ‘Shocked’ Harris Picked Tim Walz as Her Running Mate

Transcript

00:00Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are getting a rousing reception at their rallies, and Democrats

00:06are not the only ones showing their approval.

00:10Donald Trump says he, too, is happy with Kamala Harris' veep pick.

00:15He's a shocking pick, and I'm thrilled.

00:18I could not be more thrilled.

00:19Trump called into his favorite morning show, Fox & Friends, to bash Walz.

00:24If you look at his record, he's worse than they are.

00:28You know, nobody knew how radical left she was, but he's a smarter version of her.

00:33There is a fair amount of relief among Republicans that it's Tim Walz and not, say, the Pennsylvania

00:38governor Josh Shapiro.

00:39Walz, at least to Republicans, is seen as a more progressive or liberal choice.

00:45Meanwhile, the Harris campaign mocks Trump today on his own social media platform, Truth

00:51Social, comparing her capacity crowd at last night's event to a recent Trump rally in the

00:57same arena when the upper decks were empty.

01:01We're now seeing Trump and Harris hold events in the same exact arenas.

01:05It happened in Atlanta.

01:07It happened in Philadelphia.

01:09And it's inviting crowd size comparisons that Democrats know will drive Donald Trump nuts.

01:14The Harris campaign also posted photos of Walz with his cat, Afton.

01:19My God, they went after cat people.

01:20Poking fun at J.D. Vance's cat ladies controversy.

01:24I got to tell you, I can't wait to debate the guy.

01:29Walz is gearing up for an all-out veep war with Vance.

01:32These guys are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell.

01:35That's what you see.

01:36That's what you see.

01:38Vance hit back today.

01:40Now, Tim Walz is a crazy radical, of course.

01:42He slammed Walz for his military service.

01:45Walz served in the National Guard for 24 years, retiring in 2005 at 41, just before his unit

01:53was deployed to Iraq.

01:55I think it's shameful to prepare your unit to go to Iraq, to make a promise that you're

02:00going to follow through, and then to drop out right before you actually have to go.

02:04Vance has been following Harris and Walz's schedule, holding appearances in the same

02:09towns as their rallies.

02:11Today, he taunted Harris by walking up to Air Force Two in Wisconsin.

02:16I figured I'd come by and, one, just get a good look at the plane.

02:21Hopefully it's going to be my plane in a few months.

02:23His followers called the stunt a boss move, while Harris supporters called it creepy.
