At 60, Walz is just a year older than Harris, but critics say he looks much older, which could be a liability to a campaign that is rebounding from Biden’s departure over concerns about his age.
Walz responded to this criticism on X, saying he looks the way he does because he was a high school teacher and “supervised the lunchroom for 20 years. You do not leave that job with a full head of hair. Trust me.”
As a Minnesotan I’d like to point out that Walz really isn’t a progressive, however, like Biden, he’s repeatedly shown a willingness to welcome everyone to the table, and (generally) not stand in the way of progressive legislation, even when he personally doesn’t agree, so definitely not the worst choice. But I say double down on minority women, nominate lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan instead, let’s get the first native woman in the White House!
I knew Walz was the progressive option, but I’m glad to see he has a sense of humor too.
His sense of humor for those unable to check
