The Fourcast

Could Walz and Harris force 'weird' Trump out of the race? | The American Fourcast


Listen Later

Kamala Harris has chosen Governor Tim Walz as her Vice President for the 2024 Democrat ticket.

After considering nearly a dozen candidates, Harris landed on Walz who has been described as having the most "progressive record" of any of the other contenders.

Walz was an early supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, championed abortion rights into state law, and expanded free school meals & paid worker leave - so it’s not wonder the Trump-Vance team have branded him a “dangerously liberal extremist”. Rest assured, the animosity is mutual - Walz’s profile exploded after he called Donald Trump and JD Vance "weird".

Joining Matt Frei to talk about it in this episode of The American Fourcast are the UK Vice Chair of Democrats Abroad, John Scardino, the Chairman of Republicans Overseas UK, Greg Swenson, and the Director General for think-tank RUSI, Karin Von Hippel.

 

Produced by Silvia Maresca, Shaheen Sattar, Rob Thomson.
