The Trump campaign was quick to respond to Vice President Kamala Harris’ choice of Tim Walz as her running mate, calling the Minnesota governor a “dangerously liberal extremist.”

The campaign also said the Democratic ticket’s vision for the U.S. is “every Americans’ nightmare,” Fox News reported.

Harris announced Walz as her running mate Tuesday morning 

Walz, 60, is a former congressman and is currently in his second term as the governor of Minnesota.

The Trump campaign said Walz’s liberal policies and views mesh well with Harris.

“It’s no surprise that San Francisco Liberal Kamala Harris wants West Coast wannabe Tim Walz as her running-mate – Walz has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden State,” Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign’s national press secretary, told Fox News Digital. “While Walz pretends to support Americans in the Heartland, when the cameras are off, he believes that rural America is ‘mostly cows and rocks’.” 

“From proposing his own carbon-free agenda, to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars, and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda far and wide,” Levitt said. 

“If Walz won’t tell voters the truth, we will: just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is every American’s nightmare,” she added.

Walz recently referred to Trump and JD Vance, his VP choice, as “weird.” This has become the unofficial slogan of sorts for Democrats.

“These are weird people on the other side, they want to take books away, they want to be in your exam room, that’s what it comes down to,” he told on MSNBC in July. 

Walz can accomplished many progressive policies in Minnesota, including protecting abortion rights, legalizing recreational marijuana and restricting gun access to curb shootings. 

The former social studies teacher was elected to the House in 2006, representing Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District and served six terms.

Walz became governor in 2018.

“[H]e’s been a disaster for Minnesota and is by far the most partisan governor that I can remember having,” Minnesota GOP Chairman David Hann said to Fox News Digital last week. “Going back to 2020, certainly – he did nothing to try to stop the riots going on in Minneapolis. I think he was fearful of alienating his ‘progressive’ base, who were supporting the riots. Kamala Harris was raising money for the rioters.”
