Jesse Watters and Vivek Ramaswamy recently analyzed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate, offering critical perspectives on the implications for the upcoming election and the Democratic Party's strategy.
Watters began the discussion by questioning the impact of Walz's selection on the race. “How does this pick change the dynamic of this race? Vivek,” Watters asked.
Kamala has just made her first presidential-style decision. It may or may not be ideological, but it showed which wing he will end up giving in to. It's more revealing than anything I can say in the next 3 months. pic.twitter.com/keWlumgIYP

Ramaswamy responded by describing the election as a significant opportunity for the Republican side. “The reality is, to be perfectly frank, the last few weeks haven't been our best. Jesse, this gives us the reset we needed. This is a going-away gift, from the Democratic Party. It's also a lens into how Kamala will govern Harris. Unlike a lot of other people, I don't think Kamala Harris is particularly ideological. I don't think she has any ideology, but it shows how she's going to give in to the pressure be the first presidential style decision he had before Do you want a governing agenda from a centrist I disagree with on many things, but Josh Shapiro?Or do you want to give in to the pressure cave of the radical left ?She made the decision, and so I think that's our best lens to actually govern. It's not going to be him who sets the policy What makes this decision fascinating is that it gives us a lens into how Kamala Harris makes decisions. And the reality is that it sticks to the person who ultimately puts the most pressure on it. This is what we learned today. This is a gift. It restarts the run, and I think we're on our way back, once again, to a win, because Pennsylvania could come back, be in the game.”
Watters agreed, but expressed skepticism about Walz's credentials. “Yes, you are right. Shapiro was definitely going to help with Pennsylvania. He doesn't help anywhere. They say it helps with the white man in the midwest. Will they buy this guy, this guy who wants to give tampons to fourth grade boys?
Ramaswamy criticized Walz's perceived unification efforts. “The reality is, this is a guy they're completely misrepresenting as a Midwestern unifier guy. First of all, you can't be the unifier while also leading the charge to call strangers to over 70 million of Americans during their tenure, and the reality is that we have a much stronger case in return. If we want to play this game, I can't define the difference. Boys competing in women's sports, until and while taking away your gas stoves. He's been one of America's biggest climate alarmists, left or right. So if we wanted to match that charge, we have a stronger case the reality is that he can't be a unifier, but also someone who is alienating over 70 million Americans as strangers, as he puts it. The other thing is that he's just a Potomac in the village of identity politics, Jesse democrats, it's almost like they don't look at the actual content of the candidates they run. They realize there was supposed to be a black woman in the vice presidency. Now the presidency, that's exactly why Kamala got her job. But having checked that box, now they have to reverse the other direction to the right, which is the popular white midwestern type of a normal type. And the reality is that when they stop giving positions on merit and start using these group quotas in any direction, they end up with the worst of all worlds, and that's what this ticket represents.”
Watters also highlighted past controversies surrounding Walz. “The Minneapolis riots. This will be the protagonist of this campaign. It will be about economics. But remember, that summer, what happened? He let that city burn. He let it burn and then blamed America for it burning. Why would he pick someone like that on the ticket? Because?”
Ramaswamy reiterated his critical stance on Walz's record. “Well, the fact is, she wasn't making the right decision. But there are three big issues in this election. Jesse, immigration, the economy, crime. On the economy, he raised taxes. It shows you what he thinks about economic growth. About immigration, wants to build a ladder over the border wall and give free health care and taxpayer-funded subsidies to migrants. And as for crime, that's really where the George Floyd riots come in. That's not turning America into a Saint Paul or Minneapolis This is what they want to do We have a clear choice to make at the polls in November Let's move forward on our agenda and if we do that, we're going to win this thing.”
Watters concluded by expressing doubts about the democratic strategy. “You're right about the Democratic machine. They've decided to run San Francisco crazy and burn Minneapolis against Donald Trump, and that's just not going to work. I don't think it's going to work. We'll wait and see, but that's crazy.”
