Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) praised Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, calling him a “heartland of America Democrat,” Axios reports.
Said Pelosi: “Tim Walz I know very well. He served in the House. To characterize him as ‘left’ is so unreal. Really, it’s mystifying to me to see someone that I worked with — shall we say right down the middle — characterized on the left in this regard.”
