Trump says he’s "thrilled" Harris picked Walz and compares the Minnesota governor to Bernie Sanders

From CNN's Aaron Pellish

Former President Donald Trump said he was “thrilled” Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, painting Walz as “very liberal” while suggesting Harris passed over Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro because he is Jewish.

In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Trump compared Walz to progressive Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders in an attempt to portray Harris and Walz as “radical” and “communist,” and he “could not be more thrilled” about Walz joining the ticket.

“Nobody knew how radical left she was,” Trump continued, referring to Harris. “But he’s a smarter version of her, if you want to know the truth. He’s probably about the same as Bernie Sanders. He’s probably more so than Bernie Sanders.”

“This is a ticket that would want this country to go communist immediately, if not sooner,” he added. 

Trump said he expected Harris to pick Shapiro, whom he called “a better choice,” and said he believes Shapiro wasn’t picked because his Jewish identity would “offend somebody else” while pitching himself to Jewish voters.

“I think I’m gonna get a tremendous amount of Jewish votes,” he added.

CNN reported Tuesday that Shapiro — who was favored by some of the Democratic Party and anti-Trump Republicans as a more moderate selection — did not go over as well with Harris’ team during his vetting interview, according to sources familiar with the process. While Walz came across as deferential and cooperative, Shapiro struck some as overly ambitious, with “a lot of questions” about what the role of the VP would be.
