Former US President Barack Obama has voiced his endorsement for Minnesota governor Tim Walz, asserting that Walz’s conviction in a government that serves everyone, not just a select few, would make him an even more effective vice president.
Obama commended Walz’s achievements and offered his congratulations to Walz, his wife Gwen, their loved ones, and the nation.
“Like Vice President Harris, Governor @Tim_Walz believes that government works to serve us. Not just some of us, but all of us. That’s what makes him an outstanding governor, and that’s what will make him an even better vice president. Michelle and I couldn’t be happier for Tim and Gwen, their family, and our country,” Barak Obama said in a post on X on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Barack and Michelle Obama issued a statement following Kamala Harris‘s selection of Walz as her running mate in the US election. The statement emphasised the significance of a presidential candidate‘s choice of running mate in revealing their character and the kind of president they aspire to be.
“When a presidential candidate chooses a running mate, it says a lot about who they are and what kind of president they’ll be. Do they pick someone inexperienced and polarizing who will deepen our divisions? Or do they pick someone with the judgment to make tough decisions, and the character to believe that every voice counts and everyone deserves an equal chance?” the statement read.
“By selecting Tim Walz to be her vice president from a pool of outstanding Democrats, Kamala Harris has chosen an ideal partner – and made it clear exactly what she stands for,” the statement added.
Obama also conveyed his belief that Walz’s expertise and capabilities make him an outstanding candidate for vice president. The statement highlighted Walz’s accomplishments as governor, including his efforts to support families and businesses in recovering from the pandemic, implementing paid family leave, safeguarding abortion rights, and enacting sensible gun safety measures to ensure community safety.
“Governor Walz doesn’t just have the experience to be vice president, he has the values and the integrity to make us proud. As governor, Tim helped families and businesses recover from the pandemic, established paid family leave, guaranteed the right to an abortion, and put common sense gun safety measures in place to keep communities safe,” the statement read.
It added, “But Tim’s signature is his ability to talk like a human being and treat everyone with decency and respect – not all that surprising considering the fact that he served in the National Guard for 24 years and worked as a high school social studies teacher and football coach before being elected to Congress.”
