The Democratic establishment voiced their thoughts on current events, while other backers expressed enthusiasm for a “fun ticket”.
I'm thrilled to see Tim Walz join the Democratic ticket.
From providing free meals for schoolkids to implementing paid family leave in Minnesota, he's about doing good in all the ways you can.
He'll be an incredible partner to our first woman president. Let's go win this. pic.twitter.com/gH32Xq1Nco

The entertainment industry is voicing its opinions as well, calling for a phone call from Steve Martin to Saturday Night Live in order to cast him as Walz on the sketch program, opposite Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris.
According to CNN, former president Trump has addressed Harris’ choice. In a fundraising email, Trump’s campaign attacked the governor of Minnesota.
.@Tim_Walz is a great asset to @KamalaHarris’ winning campaign & administration.
He is a former public school teacher, football coach, and strong union supporter.
As governor, he delivered for working families in MN. As VP, he will deliver for the working families of the US.
