As expected support for or opposition to Vice President Kamala Harris’ pick for her VP fell along party lines. Arizona politicians and pundits were quick to respond to the news that Harris picked controversial Governor Tim Walz to join her in the presidential race.
Tim Walz let his state burn, and Kamala raised money to bail these criminals out of jail.
