I think that _any_ choice whom Harris had made would have been instantly labeled as a “dangerous, extreme leftist” by the other side, so I’m not particularly that anything Walz has supported as governor is “too progressive.”

I think that policies he _can_ tout strongly, which are progressive, but are also human and common-sense, like universal school breakfasts and lunches, can still play strongly to moderates.
