Obama strategist shouts out one candidate for Harris running mate
A former Obama strategist has given a shout-out to a current Midwestern governor for his “aggressive campaign” to join the ticket of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
David Axelrod, the chief strategist for former President Obama’s presidential campaigns, praised Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in a post on social media as reports indicate that Walz is on Harris’ short list to be her vice president.
“Whether he makes it or not, there’s no doubt MN Gov. @Tim_Walz is running the most aggressive campaign for VP in the field,” Axelrod posted along with a glowing Politico report detailing Walz’s “Midwest grit.”
While much of the veepstakes conversation has centered on four names – Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper – Walz is included on the broader list along with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Prior to taking the governor’s office in 2019, Walz served for 12 years in Congress. Before running for Congress, he served for over two decades in the Army National Guard and worked as a social studies teacher.

Walz recently made media headlines for branding former President Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, as “just weird” during an MSNBC interview last week.

Trump’s team countered the Democrat’s “weird” campaign on Sunday when Trump spokesman Steven Cheung posted video of Walz calling Trump and Vance “weird” as he stumped for Harris. Chueng accused the likely Democratic nominee and her backers of themselves being out of line for “trying to gaslight everyone into thinking the shooting was staged,” a reference to the assassination attempt at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania.

MILWAUKEE — Newly released video captures a shootout between Milwaukee police and a suspect inside a convenience store last month.
Video shows the suspect, 22-year-old Jayuntae Gregory, shooting at police with an assault rifle back on July 17 at the Citgo near Sherman and Capitol. Police returned fire.
In a press conference last month, Police Chief Jeffrey Norman said the situation continued to escalate from there.
“The suspect ran out of the store and fired numerous shots at officers, at which time several officers returned fire, subsequently striking the suspect,” Norman said.

The suspect then ran out of the gas station and again shot at officers. Officers then shot and injured Gregory and took him into custody.
Gregory was also wanted in connection to a double shooting that happened the day before. No officers were hurt.
The officers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative duty pending an investigation.
