Vice President Harris and her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are holding rallies today in Wisconsin and Michigan. Zerlina Maxwell, host of 'Mornings with Zerlina' on SiriusXM, joins José Díaz-Balart to discuss the 'energy' around the Harris campaign.

“Thank you, Madame Vice President, for the trust you put in me, but maybe more so, thank you for bringing back the joy.” That’s how Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota began his first speech as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, the latest development in a seismic two-and-a-half weeks in American politics. This week, thousands gathered in Philadelphia to see Harris and Walz introduce themselves as a ticket.

But Walz’s unifying ability didn’t begin when Harris chose him as her running mate. Even with a narrow Democratic majority in his state’s legislature, Walz has managed to enact a host of progressive policies in Minnesota without alienating his rural constituents. He’s secured child tax credits and paid family leave for Minnesotans. He was the first governor to sign abortion rights into law after the fall of Roe v. Wade. He’s championed the safety of trans kids.
