"In her recent book "107 Days," Harris recalled her exasperation watching Walz debate JD Vance, writing that Walz "felt bad he hadn't done better." "In choosing Tim, I thought that as a second-term governor and 12-year congressman he would know what he was getting into," Harris wrote. "In hindsight, how could anyone?" Harris released a statement Monday evening lauding Walz and saying the two had talked earlier in the day."
"Walz has struggled personally and politically since former Vice President Harris picked him to be her running mate on the Democratic ticket in the summer of 2024. The sudden national scrutiny of the Democrats' new candidate revealed that Walz had embellished parts of his biography - statements he spent much of the campaign trying to clean up. Walz and Harris also have spent the past year subtly pointing fingers at one another about their abbreviated campaign for the White House."
Tim Walz announced he was ending his bid for a third term as governor, saying a campaign would distract him from being effective in his last year in office. He struggled personally and politically after former Vice President Harris picked him as her 2024 running mate, and national scrutiny revealed he had embellished parts of his biography that he then tried to clean up. Walz and Harris blamed each other for their abbreviated White House campaign, and Harris said she was exasperated watching him debate JD Vance. Walz also had a falling out with Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and confronted a Minnesota scandal involving alleged fraud in social services tied largely to people of Somali descent.
