Walz (pronounced Walls) has hit the ground running and the talking heads observed that he wasn't nervous or flustered about his first huge national stage event. Harris was told that she could win with any of the three candidates she narrowed it down to, but these two hit it off right away and that goes a long way to planning to work with someone for at least the next four, possibly eight years.

During his time in the US House Walz received contributions from the National Rifle Association, but he donated the amount of money that he'd originally received to charities that supported gun rights, and when in his state the alignment was perfect, two years into his first term, (with the house and senate all Democratic) he passed gun background checks, codified the right to abortion, made free breakfast and lunch available to school children, passed a child tax credit, and when the awful event of the George Floyd murder happened he removed the prosecutor in that district and replaced him with someone who would try the case.

He has made a good start.
