SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – Former president Donald Trump and Gov. Kristi Noem have sounded off about Kamala Harris picking Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.

Harris announced her decision on Tuesday.

“I am proud to announce that I’ve asked Governor Tim Walz to be my running mate. One of the things that stood out to me about Tim is how his convictions on fighting for middle class families run deep. It’s personal. As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he’s delivered for working families like his own. We are going to build a great partnership. We start out as underdogs but I believe together, we can win this election,” said Harris.

Gov. Kristi Noem also condemned the choice, calling Tim Walz “terribly radical.”

“Tim Walz is so terribly radical that his own citizen legislature brought legislation to allow certain counties to leave Minnesota and join us here in South Dakota,” Gov. Noem wrote in a social media post on Tuesday morning.

Thune echoed Noem’s sentiment and called the Harris-Walz ticket “the most radical and liberal presidential ticket in history.”
