MSNBC host Joe Scarborough didn’t appear to be exactly overjoyed with Kamala Harris’ choice of running mate on Tuesday.
Morning Joe was on the air as news broke that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz would be joining the vice president on the Democratic ticket. Scarborough, who seemed to think Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was the better choice, did not hold back in sharing some reservations about choosing Walz both before and after it became clear that is what Harris was doing.
Scarborough described Shapiro as “the most gifted speaker” of the candidates still in the field, adding that he and Harris together could mark a “really dynamic, striking generational shift.” The host said he and his co-host wife, Mika Brzezinski, have “both been very impressed by Governor Walz,” but added that “there is a reason … the left wing likes him.”
