Vice President Harris announced today that she has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate. Former senior adviser and chief spokesperson to VP Harris Symone Sanders-Townsend, former HUD Secretary Julián Castro and former Rep. Carlos Curbelo join José Díaz-Balart to discuss.
It was a little surprising last week to see Fox News’ Laura Ingraham criticize Vice President Kamala Harris for having “no experience.” There are credible lines of attack against the California Democrat, but this isn’t one of them. After all, Harris has a lengthy record of public service that spans decades, which includes stints as a prosecutor, a state attorney general, a U.S. senator, and most recently, nearly four years as the nation’s vice president.
JD Vance, for example, is the least experienced vice-presidential nominee for either party in nearly nine decades. The Ohio Republican did serve in the Marines for four years, but in terms of elected office, Vance has run one race — in which he badly underperformed in a red state — and arrived on Capitol Hill last year. The 40-year-old lawmaker has never passed a bill or helped lead a committee as either a chair or a ranking member.
