He also later signed a "trans sanctuary" bill into law in MN after having signed the executive order. I couldn't be happier with this pick.

YES! I have been vocally advocating for Walz to be the VP selection among friends handicapping the VP race, so I am absolutely delighted by this news. If you've ever seen his "charming and disarming" takedowns of ridiculous right-wing nuttery, you immediately recognize that he can effortlessly dismantle hate and bigotry positions cloaked in anodyne "policy speak" while somehow still coming across as someone you'd love to go have a drink with after the debate.

He's considerably more progressive than Kamala, so he actually balances the ticket nicely since she's actually fairly moderate. He should really energize very important sectors of our base while also appealing to independents and never-Trumpers with his humble and plainspoken folksy charm, PLUS his impressive record of progressive accomplishments in Minnesota.

This is FANTASTIC news!
