“In the dining room of the Naval Observatory on Sunday, Tim Walz sat across from his soon-to-be running mate for the biggest interview of his life. His message to Kamala Harris and her vetting team was one of deference,” Politico reports.
Said Walz: “I’m at the end of my career. This is not about me. This is about America’s working families. And if I have to run through a brick wall, if I have to do the hard things. I’m willing to do it because I’m not angling for anything else.”
“That low ego, dutiful approach is exactly what Harris wanted to hear. After playing a similar role as loyal second to President Joe Biden for nearly four years, Harris wanted someone with the same approach.”
