Harris/Walz Upends the Map

I'm not going to bore you with how great a choice this is.

You already know that Walz is the highest-ranking enlisted soldier to ever serve in Congress, a lifelong educator, taught on an Indian Reservation and in China, did some kind of tour in the Arctic.

You already know that Walz is a plain-spoken guy who explains complex things easily, and he can speak bumper-sticker politics.

But think ahead.

If Harris lets Walz be Walz, he puts more rural and farming districts into play.

Imagine a map with Montana and North Carolina and Indiana in play.

Imagine Trump having to campaign in Alaska.

Imagine the downticket benefits of him traveling to Iowa and Nebraska and Kansas. We're gonna take House seats that Democrats have ignored for decades..

Expand the map. Expand the map. Expand the map. Put all 50 states into play.

Change America for generations to come!

Get excited, people! We are watching history unfold in front of us! We're gonna have a landslide.
