Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lauds Walz for joining Harris’ team
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, known for her outspoken views and progressive ideology, recently shared her thoughts on Vice President Kamala Harris’ pick for a running mate. Ocasio-Cortez praised Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as the right choice for the role, highlighting his ability to unify not just the Democratic Party, but the entire country.
In a recent appearance on “CBS Mornings,” Ocasio-Cortez commended Harris for selecting Walz, emphasizing the diverse set of qualities he brings to the table. Walz, a two-term governor, military veteran, former educator, and congressman, has a track record of championing progressive policies and representing rural communities.
The announcement of Walz as Harris’ running mate sparked widespread approval within the Democratic Party. Senator Joe Manchin, an independent from West Virginia, praised Walz as a unifying force who could bridge divides within the party and the nation. On the other end of the spectrum, Rep. Pramila Jayapal of the Congressional Progressive Caucus endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket, citing its ability to unite Democrats from all backgrounds and secure victory in the upcoming election.
Ocasio-Cortez, a key member of the progressive group known as “the squad,” humorously pointed out the rare alignment of views between herself and Manchin on this issue, underscoring the broad appeal of Harris’ choice. The selection of Walz symbolizes a commitment to inclusivity and representation of all Americans, irrespective of their location or identity.
As Harris and Walz hit the campaign trail, crisscrossing battleground states in a bid to win over voters, their partnership is anticipated to bring a fresh perspective and energize the Democratic base. With a blend of experience, empathy, and a shared vision for the future, the Harris-Walz ticket aims to embody the values of unity and progress that resonate with a broad spectrum of Americans in the upcoming election.
