A lot of Hollywood power players may have be voting for Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to be Kamala Harris‘ running mate, but now the current Vice President has chosen Tim Walz to be her VP, one of the Democrats’ biggest donor bases has a lot of good things to say about the Minnesota Governor.
News of Walz’s selection was first reported by CNN this AM, and Harris just made it official:
I am proud to announce that I've asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate.
As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he's delivered for working families like his.
It's great to have him on the team.
Now let’s get to work. Join us:https://t.co/W4AE2WlMTj
In an election that has been an ever accelerating roller coaster the past two months, The Daily Show today said a bit of the quiet thing out loud of a man most of American had barely heard of just over a few weeks ago.
Rob Reiner was one of the first Tinseltown big names to cal for President Joe Biden to step aside afte his debate debacle, but today The American President director was very blunt and very much onside for the new ticket:
Bridesmaids director Paul Feig shared his enthusiasm and his casting genius as news of Walz’s selection spread this morning:
Yvette Nicole Brown wasn’t holding back either:
I am just JOYOUS! I had stopped dreaming this was possible because again we had a strong, deep bench…
But former teacher @Tim_Walz was my favorite. My absolute favorite. I tried not to tip the scales in any way but this delightful man was the one for me! #LetsGo @KamalaHQ! pic.twitter.com/5ijuQT4LCT
Two former candidates for high office also had some very nice things to say abut the two-term governor from home of previous Veeps Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale:
I'm thrilled to see Tim Walz join the Democratic ticket.
From providing free meals for schoolkids to implementing paid family leave in Minnesota, he's about doing good in all the ways you can.
He'll be an incredible partner to our first woman president. Let's go win this. pic.twitter.com/gH32Xq1Nco
As did a certain for POTUS and First Lady:
Also, Wonder Woman herself made the case for Walz:
As did a cabinet secretary tipped by many in Hollywood and elsewhere for another White House run himself one day, and seen as a potential VP pick by Harris this year:
Tim Walz is an exceptionally effective governor – and also great to work with. I’m excited for what his Midwestern voice, military experience, and common-sense values will bring to our winning ticket, and for everything the Harris-Walz administration will deliver for Americans.

My advice: Everybody have fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chung tonight.
