Reed Statement on Harris Tapping Governor Tim Walz as Vice Presidential Running Mate
PROVIDENCE, RI — Today, U.S. Senator Jack Reed issued the following statement:
Vice President Harris had a lot of outstanding candidates to choose from and she made a great pick.
Governor Walz is popular for a reason. He’s a veteran with over 20 years in the Army National Guard. He’s a common-sense Governor who cares about solving problems and getting things done to help everyday families. His honesty, integrity, and life story will resonate with Americans everywhere.
Voters have a very clear choice:
The Trump-Vance ticket is in it for themselves and their billionaires backers. Their extremist Trump-Vance Project 2025 agenda would hurt middle-class families, take away women’s reproductive rights, undermine Medicaid and Medicare, and threaten Social Security.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are going to win by uniting people and building successful coalitions. Every day, more Americans are supporting VP Harris because she’s positive, energetic, thoughtful, and pragmatic. In selecting Governor Walz, she’s once again demonstrated her good judgement and ability to lead us in the right direction. Governor Walz is a veteran with true leadership experience who will help Vice President Harris win, govern, and lead America into the future.
