Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has chosen her vice-presidential candidate and he is a midwesterner. In fact, I think Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz might be the midwesterner.
The man is a walking Minnesota State Fair; a folk hero, like Paul Bunyan or whoever invented throwing some green beans and a can of cream of mushroom soup in a baking dish, crumpling potato chips on it and calling it a casserole. He is a tater tot hotdish come to life.
And I don’t want to brag, but I’m sort of an expert. My family resides in South Dakota. Before that, I used to live in Duluth, Minnesota. My parents worked for the Forest Service and my dad was a smokejumper who jumped out of airplanes into forest fires. (I know! Why would he do that?)
