CNN Contributor Raises Questions About the "Normalcy" of Vice President Harris' Running Mate

CNN contributor Scott Jennings has challenged claims that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who is Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, is a "normal" candidate, citing Walz's handling of the 2020 riots and his perceived deference to the radical left.

Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, has been described as a "normal" candidate. However, CNN contributor Scott Jennings has cast doubt on this assessment, citing Walz's actions during the 2020 riots and his alleged subservience to the radical left.

"Is it normal to let your biggest city in your state burn while you're the governor for four days, destroying thousands of businesses, hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage, while you do nothing?" Jennings asked, referring to Walz's response to the riots in Minneapolis.

Jennings also criticized Walz for his decision not to select Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as his running mate. Shapiro, he argued, was the "best choice" but was passed over because of anti-Semitism within the Democratic Party.

Jennings asserted that both Harris and Walz have demonstrated a willingness to "bow down to the radical left." He believes this is a red flag for "normal people" and should make them question whether the Harris-Walz ticket represents their interests.

The Harris campaign has not yet responded to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Jennings' comments come amid a wider discussion about the future of the Democratic Party. Some argue that the party has become too extreme and has alienated moderate voters.

These criticisms have been particularly pronounced in light of recent efforts by progressive Democrats to push for policies such as Medicare for All and the Green New Deal.

The Harris-Walz ticket is seen as an attempt to bridge the divide between the party's moderate and progressive wings. However, Jennings' comments suggest that this strategy may be difficult to achieve.

If Jennings' analysis is correct, it could spell trouble for the Harris-Walz ticket and for the Democratic Party as a whole. The party will need to find a way to reconcile its conflicting factions if it wants to remain competitive in the 2024 election.

In the meantime, Jennings' comments will likely continue to fuel the debate about the future of the Democratic Party and the role of the radical left within it.
