Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently shared her positive views on Democratic nominee Kamala Harris' choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her vice presidential pick. Ocasio-Cortez expressed her enthusiasm, labeling it as an 'excellent decision.' She believes that together, Harris and Walz will lead the country effectively, inclusively, and boldly, addressing crucial issues such as healthcare and school lunch programs without hesitation.
During his time as governor, Walz notably signed a bill into law that ensures free school breakfast and lunch for students. This policy has been a central part of Walz's vision to make Minnesota 'the best state for kids to grow up,' as he emphasized in a press release following the bill's enactment.
In a light-hearted manner, Ocasio-Cortez also made a jesting remark on social media about the unexpected alignment between herself and Sen. Joe Manchin in supporting Walz. This playful comment highlighted the diverse perspectives within the Democratic party.
Ocasio-Cortez played a significant role in President Biden's 2020 Democratic coalition, aiming to bridge the gap between the progressive and moderate factions of the party. Her endorsement of Harris' choice reflects a broader effort to unify Democrats and work towards common goals.
