Kornacki breaks down the potential impact of Harris picking Walz

There's no way any candidate was going to win over Trump supporters. All they needed to do was avoid losing progressive voters, and Walz is a great pick for that.

I live in one of those rural counties in MN - there are zero Trump flags. In fact, we had a neighbor who keeps his Trump flag up all the time, but a few months ago replaced it with the American flag. People I talk to are sick of the drama, want normal back, and a lot of people who weren’t on board with Walz were anti-vaccine and anti-maskers. People will get reintroduced to Tim and the positive vibes are contagious.

Minnesotan here. Walz is a pick for human decency with a backbone.

Walz as governor, sealed women's autonomy over our bodies & our health, Strengthened Unions, brought free school lunches, paid family leave, created surplus in budget.. fights for working people, fights for middle class... Walz is not afraid to stand up against Republican extremists and fight for Minnesota Families!! He's Everything America needs in a leader!!

I'm a teacher, a veteran, a dad, and a white guy and I can't wait to vote for Harris and Walz.

Time to move forward. Over 8 years of having Trump's name in our face is more than enough. Should never have happened in the 1st place.

Sorry I had no idea who Walz was but reading and watching about him. Wow what a guy, excellent pick!

The demographics in Minnesota are the same as every state in the country. Population centers determine the winners of elections.

I’m an independent and I’m FINALLY motivated to vote for a ticket. HARRIS / WALZ 2024!!!!!!

Here comes a breath of fresh political air 👍!! HARRIS/WALZ 2024 ! 💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

U.S. Army veteran for HARRIS/WALZ!! We are NOT GOING BACK!

Let me point something out here, I am a big fan of Kornacki. But, as usual all of the discussion is about "old" votes. The same old voters we discuss every single election. There is only one demographic where you can get new voters and that's the youth vote. Walz appeals to young voters, but at the same time is a rural guy. I really liked Shapiro, he would have been good as well, but he is more on that elite side of life. Kamala showed with this pick she is truly looking forward. There are millions and millions of young voters who are just untapped, to seize the future you gotta appeal to the future. In the end she made the right choice.

Walz is a great choice. He’s not afraid to take the fight to Republicans and he passed Universal School Lunches, Free Tuition College, Passed Paid Family Leave, and legalized marijuana. He’s a popular governor and he isn’t scared to fight back against Republicans. Plus, he passed the legislation I stated with a one seat majority.

Friendly reminder that the country swung like 8 points to the right from 2020-2022. Tim Walz holding his ground is a testament to his strengtj

What Kornacki is NOT taking into account is that Walz is a normal, everyday guy. He's a veteran, a teacher and now the Gov. That being said, he's not one of the "rich elites, and can relate more to the people.

As a born and raised Floridian, I would like to thank the citizens of Minnesota. You may lose a governor, now, but in a few weeks, you will gain a Vice President. So, with that, I take my hats off to ya, for your wonderful governor and future Vice president of the soon-to-be "Trumpless" United States of America!

WALZ was the PERFECT pick! Tim will quickly bury the two weirdos.

Since 2022 though, Minnesota Democrats took a 1 seat majority. And with that one seat, they legalized marijuana, and gave kids free breakfast and lunch. So it's tough to go by Walz's 2022 stats, because Republicans held the state's legislation, and they blocked everything. Since Republicans lost, Walz has been able to get a LOT of popular policy passed.

As a rural Minnesota resident, I'm so freaking excited!!!

Walz is an excellent pick! A real human being running.....great to see.
