Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, wagering that a former red-district congressman with a progressive streak can help her win over working-class voters in battleground states needed to beat Donald Trump in November.
“The entire country is about to see why their friends from Minnesota can’t stop bragging about Governor Walz,” Minnesota DFL Party Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “By picking a servant leader born and raised in a small town who has dedicated his career to protecting freedoms and lifting up working families, Vice President Harris has chosen the perfect foil for [Trump running mate] JD Vance and his politics of resentment.”
Sure but then you’d have to live in Minnesota. Have you seen Fargo? No thank you.
Fargo is actually in North Dakota. There are places in northern Minnesota that feel similar, but generally MN is significantly more forested and temperate than the biting cold and drifting snow on the plains of ND.
Temporate? You may be the first to describe Minnesota as temporate.
Well, it literally is from the definition of the word… And also, if you’d ever been to North Dakota in the winter, you might even prefer words like “balmy”.
It’s not a frozen wasteland lol
Where I live is basically the polar opposite climate wise and I dream of moving to somewhere frozen over half the year.
The polar opposite of Minnesota is Antarctica.
Actually, the closest land antipode that I found to St. Paul Minnesota was (weirdly enough) the Saint Paul and Amsterdam Isles.
It’s not often you find a comment that’s both pedantic and well executed. Good job!
Well, we are the North Star State.
Better move quick. Our winters are getting shorter startlingly quickly. We’ve been lucky to even get snow by christmas these past couple years.
Do it, it’s fun! I moved here from Florida. Great decision.
(And in February you can message me and say “Move to Minnesota you said. It’ll be fun you said!”)
Sir, you have no call to get snippy with me. I’m just doing my job here.
