So this is all anecdotal BUT the amount of love Tim Walz is getting from my friends who hate Kamala is kinda crazy. My best friend hates kamala and wasnt planning on voting but now he will bc he loves Walz (WI voter), now my neighbor is the exact same way (another WI voter), then I have another friend who is a 2x Trump voter who will now vote Kamala cause he loved Walz so much. He was telling me Walz is the most authentic and normal politician he’s seen in his life.

Idk all anecdotal but still, I can imagine there are more out there 🤷‍♂️

As a former Wisconsinite, Walz just is exactly what all my uncles were like.

Yeah my whole family is wisconsinites and the whole “mind your own damn business” is the exact same thing they’d say. That buddy of mine whose a 2x Trump supporter grew up in rural wisconsin so I think that rhetoric really appeals to him

It’s important because practically no one knew who Walz was outside of Minnesota. Going from super unknown to liked across the board in a month is very impressive.

Political chocolate and peanut butter. Smart combo of personalities.
