As is always the case, the person to whom I directed an unsolicited recommended ignored my advice … but I am not crestfallen over it.<\/p>\n

Vice President Kamala Harris this morning revealed that she has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her 2024 Democratic Party running mate on a ticket she — and millions of others – hopes will remove Donald Trump from our political landscape forever.<\/p>\n

Walz has been described in terms used for another well-known Minnesotan. He’s been called a “happy warrior,” which is a title worn with pride by the late Vice President and Sen. Hubert Humphrey.<\/p>\n

I preferred Sen. Mark Kelly among the finalists under consideration. But … Harris went in another direction.<\/p>\n

That’s OK with me. Gov. Walz will acquit himself in a stellar fashion. Of that I feel comfortable in asserting. He’s the author of the “weird” quip now being used to describe the policies espoused by Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance.<\/p>\n

May this campaign now begin in earnest and may it produce an outcome for which many millions of us are hoping.<\/p>\n\n
