You’d think that out of a field of thousands of Democratic elected officials, the Left could find SOMEONE with an impressive record to be Kamala Harris’s VP.

Nope. Virtually all of the governors who have been on the short list – Newsom (CA), Walz (MN), Whitmer (MI), etc – were lockdown artists during Covid, catastrophically shutting down schools and businesses.

Right now it looks like it is down to two choices: MN Governor Tim Walz and PA Governor Josh Shapiro.

Here is Walz’s claim to fame:

He authorized hundreds of millions of dollars directed to Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future, a nonprofit that misspent $250 million in one of the largest COVID-19 fraud schemes in the country. In 2022, Minnesota’s U.S. Attorney announced federal charges against the nonprofit in what he called the “largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the nation.”

Feeding Our Future used federal funds to buy luxury cars, houses, jewelry, and coastal resort property abroad. But Walz did nothing to stop the fraud.

Nor was that scandal a one-off under Walz’s watch. In 2020, he approved a plan to give Frontline Workers workers “hero pay” for their work during the pandemic. But more than $200 million of $500 million of these payments went to fraudsters with questionable eligibility. Money is still going out the door and not a single person has been fired.

Democrats think this financial incompetence makes him a perfect fit for Washington, and regrettably, they may be right.
