The morning of Aug. 6 Vice President Kamala Harris announced governor

Tim Waltz to run as Vice President for the presidential elections of 2024.

Minnesotans had different things to say about Harris’s election on Walz.

Josh Fimberg said he is excited about the election of governor Walz for

Vice President position in the upcoming elections.

“I think he's really straightforward in the way he talks about issues that I

think are important to a lot of people,” Fimberg said. “He has a fantastic

backstory that I think will appeal to all kinds of different stakeholders within

the electorate.”

Another person said it is more important to worry who will be the governor

of Minnesota with Walz leaving his position open.

“I have been looking a lot more at Penny Flanagan, for me I am more

worried about our governor than someone running for Vice President that

might not win.”

A woman also said she is excited about this election since the addition of

Walz to the presidential run.

“As soon as Kamala Harris stepped up and was enthusiastic about running

for president, I had some optimism around the presidential election for the

first time since Obama.”

Presidential elections are set for Tuesday Nov. 5, 2024.
