North Dakota reactions to VP Harris choosing Tim Walz as running mate
MINOT, N.D. (KMOT) – Reactions began coming in Tuesday from those in North Dakota politics to Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Gov. Tim Walz, D-MN, as her running mate.
Merrill Piepkorn, North Dakota State Senator and Democratic candidate for Governor, sent out a statement that reads, in part:
“[Walz] is a down-to-earth regular guy who is smart and has made Minnesota an even better place to live under his leadership. He’s shown the country how it can be done. I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about his addition to the national ticket.”
Former North Dakota Democratic U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp posted the following on X:
“Couldn’t be happier that @KamalaHarris selected my friend & neighbor to the East, @Tim_Walz. He’s a champion for rural communities & knows that you shouldn’t have to leave home to get an education, receive care or make a living. Nice that he’s a fellow hot dish aficionado, too.”
Democratic U-S Senate candidate Katrina Christiansen posted this on X:
“Rural America will never be forgotten with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on the Democratic ticket.
Shoutout to my fellow midwesterner on your selection, and let’s bring it home this November!”
On the other side of the aisle, Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-ND, who Christiansen is challenging for the seat, didn’t mince words on social media, saying:
“Harris has doubled down on weird with this choice, unless MN really is in play. Perhaps together the two of them can let every city in America burn to the ground after closing businesses and requiring vaccines. I like Republican chances this year.”
Julie Fedorchak, North Dakota Public Service Commissioner and Republican candidate for North Dakota’s U.S. House seat, released a statement that reads:
“Kamala Harris picking Tim Walz as her Vice-Presidential running mate underscores the direction they want for our country. More of the same failed policies that have Americans suffering under inflated prices for everything and a country and world in turmoil.”
