Tim Walz: Beating CNN to the Punch with Dan Green (Hour 1)
Today, the Harris campaign announced their choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Vice President Harris’s running mate. We are proud to welcome the average Minnesotan who broke the news early last night!

He saw what looked like a detail of Secret Service vehicles. After posting a video online, Green became the first to report that Tim Walz was joining the Harris ticket!

At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for some more Tuesday Tangents. He and Todd keep the Tim Walz conversation rolling, taking your calls about what this could mean for the election.
