  • Gov. Josh Shapiro is the best Governor Pennsylvania has had in a very long time. I am so grateful that he will be staying here in my state for the next 6 years.
  • @convicsik
    It’s a win win. We get Walz for VP and Shapiro remains our governor who has been doing great thing for our commonwealth.
  • @mickael486
    I give Kamala Harris nothing but respect voting for the better man Instead of the strategic move for PA. Love You, Tim Walz!! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
  • As a Canadian, and a devout Christian, I am overjoyed at Kamala Harris's choice of VP. Congratulations USA, you are getting back to normal. Praying the blue ticket wins, and brings our neighbour whom we share such a long border with, back to what you really are--a DEMOCRATIC country. God bless you.
  • @Hanad3
    A veteran, former teacher, supports unions, supports teachers, supports climate change, and made school lunch free for all kids in Minnesota to make sure they got a full stomach during their classes. Trump is going to regret picking Vance even more!
  • @WeeWeeJumbo
    we’re happy to keep our Governor! we’re even happier to vote Harris/Walz into the White House
  • Walz will sell well to any audience. His life has been spent in service, living out his Lutheran values. He has governed for the regular folks.
  • @aaronjones4465
    Very good choice, he’s done a lot of work for families. And kids in schools.
  • @susieb7305
    I want my governor to stay in Pennsylvania! I am glad we get to KEEP SHAPIRO!!!
  • @sumernoel1553
    I’m glad to keep Shapiro here! We need him because the GOP is an inch away from going cray here. Election BS? He won’t let that happen. Kamala had a great problem……so many excellent candidates to choose from. Trump, not so much. Not too many people line up for the Pence treatment.
  • @meemeezong1827
    Shapiro is good choice too but definitely not a loser. There’s just one position to fill and we had some really good choices to pick from. Shapiro is not done. He’s only getting started.
  • @dankeith1003
    Brilliant talk by Malcom Kenyata. There were so many great candidates there could not have been a wrong choice. But VP Harris needed to pick a candidate she could best work with for the good of the country. And Gov Walz was a superb choice. Please, please everybody stop questioning the choice and get 100 % behind this great partnership. If not then you can look forward to dumb and dumber being in charge of the country. Then God help us all
  • @Erin-ir4hy
    Shapiro would have been an obvious pick because democrats need to win Pennsylvania, however, he's needed as governor. He will make sure that there's no cheating during the election if he's governor vs him out campaigning. Walz is the best choice to unite the country. He's a regular good ole boy that Americans will relate to.
  • Pennsylvania voter supports Harris/Walz. Love having Shapiro as my Governor & as the former AG. Josh will get the vote out in PA & his time will come. Harris/Walz 2024!
  • @Philobiblion
    (New Castle, PA) I like it. Yesterday I drove 163 miles cross country from Coudersport to New Castle through mostly 80+% GOP territory and I counted eight or nine Trump yard signs. That's about 50 less than I expected. Either Josh or Tim would have been great. I think that picking Walz shows that KH and her team are already confident enough about PA to go with the guy who is more relatable and who already has a large part of the Midwest in his pocket. Something is going on here.
  • @user-od2qi8zr3d
    My heart has filled with joys for the better future, for uniting nation moving foward, and for our decent hard working Americans, HARRIS + WALZ team will lead us there!
  • @CA-tk8yn
    Pennsylvians should be very happy Kamal chose Walz. Not only will they get a strong team in the President and VP, but they get to keep Shapiro. I'm sorry, but a Governor affects their lives far more than the VP ever will. Imagine if they had to deal with a Republican Governor down the road, because the best person left.
  • @jen9015
    Let's go Pennsylvania!!! Win for the whole country. You got this.
  • @ecurewitz
    Looks like Pennsylvanians are happy
