Welcome to Trending Now Tuesday, or should I say welcome back to Trending Now Tuesday! Today we're looking what's trending right now on the site formerly known as Twitter, and why not talk about what everyone else is talking about. US Vice President Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate this morning. The two of them will be together for the first time at a campaign rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania tonight, and then hit the road as they'll visit other battleground states in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Nevada, all of which will be up grabs in the 2024 Presidential Election coming in November. You can only imagine the excitement happening now in Minnesota, and among Democrats and Harris supporters, in fact we've quickly manage to find a bunch of tweets (which are now called posts) online to prove that the excitement is real.

I'm thrilled to see Tim Walz join the Democratic ticket.
From providing free meals for schoolkids to implementing paid family leave in Minnesota, he's about doing good in all the ways you can.
He'll be an incredible partner to our first woman president. Let's go win this.
Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt
Tim Walz is an excellent choice for Vice President.
He's a climate champion. He's a fighter for working people and young people. He's the kind of VP that shows young people that VP Harris is for real.
UAW @UAW
Tim Walz doesn’t just talk the talk, he walks the walk. From delivering for working-class Americans to standing with the UAW on our picket line last year, we know which side he’s on. That’s why we’re going to send @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz to the White House this November.
JB Pritzker @JBPritzker
My friend @Tim_Walz is an excellent choice to be the next Vice President of the United States. I'm ready to work alongside the Harris-Walz team to help ensure victory for Democrats up and down the ballot in November.
Let's win this!
Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar
Minnesota is known as the land of Vice Presidents, and we've got another great one on the way! As a veteran, a high school teacher and football coach, and our Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz has been an incredible leader (and on top of that, a good friend). Let's go win this!

The website makes it official.
Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA
My work here in Pennsylvania is far from finished — there is a lot more stuff I want to get done for our Commonwealth.
Over the next 90 days, I look forward to traveling all across the Commonwealth to unite Pennsylvanians behind my friends Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and defeat Donald Trump.
See you tonight in Philly.
Barack Obama @BarackObama
Like Vice President Harris, Governor @Tim_Walz believes that government works to serve us. Not just some of us, but all of us. That’s what makes him an outstanding governor, and that’s what will make him an even better vice president. Michelle and I couldn’t be happier for Tim and Gwen, their family, and our country.
Kamala HQ @KamalaHQ

Julián Castro @JulianCastro
Gov. Tim Walz is an excellent choice for VP.
He has executive experience and will be ready on day one.
He has successfully implemented a popular, progressive agenda.
He appeals to working class swing voters.
And he can make the case against the “weird” Trump-Vance agenda.
Jeremy Slevin @jeremyslevin
Some of the policies Walz signed into law in Minnesota:
-Universal school meals

Kamala’s Wins @harris_wins
BREAKING: Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Tim Walz to be her running mate. Let’s go win this thing.
Kamala’s Wins @harris_wins
BREAKING: Reporters are marvelling at how service oriented the Harris-Walz ticket is. Kamala Harris prosecuted criminals and Tim Walz served in our Armed Forces. This is the most pro-America ticket ever assembled.
Kamala’s Wins @harris_wins
BREAKING: Kamala Harris prosecuted sexual predators. Tim Walz served in the Army National Guard. Donald Trump is a sexual predator and a draft dodger. Trump is in deep trouble.
Kamala’s Wins @harris_wins
BREAKING: Democrats are unifying behind the Harris-Walz ticket in unprecedented ways. From Joe Manchin to Bernie Sanders, Democrats are together to defeat Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is attacking Republican Governors and scaring away independent voters.
B.W. Carlin @BaileyCarlin
Tim Walz is a:
- Veteran
- Former teacher
- State championship winning football coach
- Faculty advisor of the first gay-straight alliance at his school
- Gun owner
- Highest-ranking retired enlisted soldier ever to serve in Congress
Not to mention has more charisma in his earlobes than Vance has in his body. I can’t imagine a better choice for VP
Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer
I'm so excited that my friend @Tim_Walz will be the next Vice President of the United States! As a fellow Midwesterner and governor, I know firsthand that his leadership is an important asset to this ticket. He’ll be an excellent partner for @KamalaHarris, and I’ll do everything I can to get them elected this November. Let’s go win this thing!
Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly
Vice President @KamalaHarris and Governor @Tim_Walz are going to move us forward. They’re already building a campaign to unite our country — and @GabbyGiffords and I are ready to do everything we can to help them win.
Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1
Tim Walz, a Nebraska native, enlisted in the National Guard when he was 17 and served for more than two decades.
He later was a high school social studies teacher and football coach before he won a congressional seat in a largely rural and agricultural district in 2006. @NBCNews @MSNBC
Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom
Brilliant.
No one knows more about the job than the sitting Vice President -- who has served for a former two term VP.
Tim Walz is about doing the right thing. Whether it’s free school meals or standing up against gun violence -- he’s never been intimidated. He’s about honor and decency, and is exactly the right pick in a campaign about daylight vs darkness.
He’s been an incredible partner as a Governor, and will make an incredible Vice President. Let's go.
Joe Biden @JoeBiden
The first major decision a party nominee makes is their choice for Vice President. And Kamala Harris has made a great decision in choosing Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate.
I've known Tim Walz for nearly two decades, first during his time in Congress and as Governor. A husband and father, he's been a school teacher and a high school football coach. He served for 24 years in the Army National Guard and became the highest ranking enlisted soldier to ever serve in Congress. As Governor, he's been a strong, principled, and effective leader.
The Harris-Walz ticket will be a powerful voice for working people and America's great middle class. They will be the strongest defenders of our personal freedoms and our democracy. And they will ensure that America continues to lead the world and play its role as the indispensable nation.
It's time for all Democrats—and indeed all Americans—committed to freedom, democracy, and American leadership in the world to rally behind the Harris-Walz ticket.
Every generation of Americans faces a moment where they are asked to defend American democracy. That moment is now.

JOY IS ON THE BALLOT!
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
WHY TIM WALZ?
Per source close to VP selection process on what @KamalaHarris sees in him:
• Executive experience with a record on core goals: child tax credit, paid leave, gun safety, junk fees, abortion
• Appealing bio in key Midwest states: veteran, football coach, hunter, gun owner, won a Trump district
• Effective messenger vs. Trump-Vance (see: “weird”)
• Personal rapport & her confidence in him as a governing partner
The Daily Show @TheDailyShow
Congrats to Tim Walz, a man we definitely knew existed two weeks ago!
