About this episode
On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, a move that drew praise from a wide swath of the party, from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Sen. Joe Manchin.
Though Walz was relatively unknown until recently, his stock within Democratic politics skyrocketed in the last few weeks. As governor, Walz passed legislation Democrats have long championed, including increasing taxes on corporations, providing free breakfast and lunch to all school students, and creating a paid family and medical leave program.
On Lever Time, Arjun Singh sits down with Ryan Grim, co-founder of Drop Site, to dig deeper into Walz’s record — the good and the bad — and explore what Walz’s selection signals to voters.
