Was Tim Walz the Right Choice for VP?
Justin and John discuss the state of the presidential campaign after an incredible month of news: the Republican convention, an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, JD Vance becoming Trump's running mate, Joe Biden's retirement, and Kamala Harris's ascension to the top of the Democratic ticket.
In particular, they review the choice of Governor Tim Walz to run for vice president. Harris chose Walz ahead of Governor Josh Shapiro, who many pundits favored.
