Fox News host Jesse Watters has analyzed Vice President Kamala Harris' newly-chosen running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on "Jesse Watters Primetime," arguing that Walz is a "radical" choice that makes the Democratic ticket "so liberal, it's like they're trying to lose."
Watters pointed to Walz's past support for policies such as Medicare for All and the Green New Deal as evidence of his "radical" credentials. He also criticized Walz's handling of the riots in Minneapolis that followed the death of George Floyd, accusing him of being "soft on crime."

"This is a guy who let rioters burn down Minneapolis, and she [Harris] bailed him out," Watters said. "Walz blamed America for the Black Lives Matter riots and said they were exciting."
Watters also questioned Harris' decision-making process in choosing Walz, arguing that she passed over more qualified candidates because they were either too Jewish or too talented.

"Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was the frontrunner, but sources say he was too Jewish for the Hamas wing of the party and was too talented a campaigner and would steal the spotlight from Harris," Watters said.
Watters' analysis of Walz's selection has been met with mixed reactions. Some have agreed with Watters' assessment that Walz is a "radical" choice that will hurt the Democratic ticket, while others have defended Walz as a qualified candidate who will bring a progressive voice to the race.
The choice of Walz as Harris' running mate is likely to be a major talking point in the upcoming presidential election. Republicans are expected to use Walz's record as a way to attack Harris and the Democratic Party, while Democrats will need to defend Walz and convince voters that he is the right choice to be the next vice president.
Only time will tell what impact Walz's selection will have on the election, but there is no doubt that it will be a major factor in the race.
