Black Twitter is buzzing over Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris picking lovable Minnesota Governor Tim WALZ (or Waltz, to Black folks), 60, as her Vice Presidential running mate in a popular move that energized supporters while setting the stage for Election Day (Nov. 5).

When I called @Tim_Walz this morning to ask him to join our campaign, I shared my deep level of respect for him and the work we’ve done together.

We’re going to unify this country and we’re going to win.

Let’s go get this done. pic.twitter.com/EcqZ497lyk

WALZ (not Waltz), who seems like the friendliest neighbor you could ever have, joins Kamala’s campaign as a highly-respected man of the people who made sure all public school kids receive FREE breakfast and lunch, and more during his successful tenure as Governor.

He also started the growing trend of calling Trump and his supporters ‘weird’ which continues to stick as an effective jab on the campaign trail.

In his first campaign rally with Kamala, the former teacher, military man, and coach sent the excited Philadelphia crowd into a frenzy with his first speech as a VP candidate.

At one point, he sent a hilarious shot at Trump VP pick JD Vance whose been embroiled in a strange couch saga over the past few weeks.

Tim Walz says he can’t wait to debate JD Vance if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.

As expected, social media exploded over the rousing speech that appears to have boosted Kamala’s lead in the Presidential race. In most major polls, she’s up by multiple points.

Harris now leads by 13 points with women (55%-42%).

She has gone from a 23-point lead with Black voters over Trump a couple of weeks ago, to a 54-point lead.

Harris is up 9 points with independents (53%-44%). She was down 14 points with them last month.
