Kentucky Democrats’ statement on VP pick

(ABC36 NEWS NOW) – Both the Democratic and Republican parties of Kentucky have responded to the recent announcement of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Vice President Kamala Harris’ choice for her running mate in the upcoming election.

The Democratic Party of Kentucky released a statement saying, “Through years of service in public school classrooms and as a congressman and governor, Governor Walz has worked to make our country a better place and understands the kitchen table issues that matter most to Americans. He’s a devoted champion for working families, and has protected access to affordable health care, cut child poverty, protected reproductive rights, guaranteed meals for kids in public schools, and more. Governor Walz will be an exceptional running mate and an invaluable partner to Vice President Kamala Harris as she finishes the job that President Biden started. This November, Kentucky Democrats are ready to defeat Donald Trump again and send the Harris-Walz ticket to the White House.”
