Ohio Lawmakers React to Harris' Choice of Tim Walz as Running Mate

The Minnesota governor is extremely popular in his midwestern state

Vice President and Democratic nominee for president Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate Tuesday morning.

Ohio Democratic and Republican leaders weighed in on the decision shortly after the announcement went public. Democrats call Walz a successful and effective leader, a good communicator and a genuine person. Republicans call him radical, left-wing and extreme.

Ohio House Minority Leader Allison Russo (D- Upper Arlington) and Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio (D - Lakewood) said they are pleased and excited about the choice because Walz has shown himself to be a successful governor who will resonate with voters across the country. They also believe he will be a good partner with Harris.
