GOP lawmakers are avoiding constituents due to backlash over budget cuts and Musk's actions. Dems like Walz and Khanna are stepping up to engage with voters in GOP districts.

Walz is very clearly just a good guy. He wasn't as polished as Vance in their VP debate, but the debate format gives undue legitimacy to populists and fascists anyway. He reminded me of teachers I'd had in high school, and I'm sure he was an awesome coach.

The fact that he also obviously has some support from corporate Democrats could mean he has a chance to get the party behind him too

He should've ran on the president ticket, there might actually been a chance.
