Many Republicans expressed surprise and relief at the choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, readying renewed "radical" liberal attacks.
Why it matters: Republicans saw Walz as the easier target for them as they try to regain momentum after a rough few weeks for the GOP (and their own VP candidate.)
Republicans plan to paint Walz as far left, highlighting that he was backed for VP by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and reminding people of Walz's handling of the 2020 protests after the police killing of George Floyd.
Republicans have already been painting Harris as too progressive and plan to try to accuse her of being "anti-Israel" for overlooking Jewish Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, whose pro-Israel stances have faced criticism from the left.
