DONALD Trump’s former communications director says his running mate will cause problems in the race for the White House.
Financier Anthony Scaramucci believes Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was the best choice Kamala Harris could have made as his vice president, saying he needed a “Joe Biden-like figure.”

“He is a teacher and former high school student soccer trainer. There is a universal law in America,” Scaramucci told The US Sun.
“Pay close attention to this: everyone loves high school soccer coach, everyone.”
Walz, who was virtually unknown a few weeks ago, has been positively received by the Democratic Party, catapulting him into the national spotlight.
“The base loves Walz — the left-leaning progressive base that showed up in the primaries,” Scaramucci said, adding that Harris won’t have to hold out at the upcoming Democratic National Convention.
However, the same cannot be said for Ohio Senator JD Vance, who Donald Trump announced would be his running mate on the first day of the Republican National Convention.
“JD Vance absolutely hurt Trump,” said Scaramucci, who worked at the White House for 10 days before being fired in July 2017 and has now become a vocal critic of the former president.
He made a similar statement about X, writing that Trump “has to replace Vance to return to power.” race.”
Scaramucci says there’s a 50/50 chance Trump will rule out Vance as his running mate, saying “he did this to everybody.”
“He’ll say, ‘Vance wasn’t working for me. He had no talent’ and then he brings in Nikki Haley.
“If Trump removes Vance, he will need to wait after the DNC because he needs popularity and publicity.
“He knows they’re going to get him in August.”
According to Scaramucci, if Trump dumps Vance, it will be a huge spotlight on him and the potential person he gets to replace Vance.
“But he might just drag Vance with him,” Scaramucci added.
“He says ‘the vice president doesn’t matter’ and then he’s saying Tim Walz will lead the country to communism.'”
VEEP OF FAITH
Harris and Walz made their debut as running mates on Tuesday night at a rally in Philadelphia, where the sitting vice president introduced her choice to the country.
“From the day I announced my candidacy, I decided to find a partner who can help build this better future,” she said.
“I found a leader like this: Governor Tim Walz from the great state of Minnesota.”
Harris drew attention to several of Walz’s accolades throughout his life, such as serving in the Army National Guard and his career as a high school teacher and soccer trainer.
“And in 91 days… the nation will know Coach Walz by another name: Vice President of the United States.”
JD VANCE VS TIM WALZ
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Senator JD Vance had full lives before becoming politicians.
Walz and Vance both served in the military. Walz was in the Army National Guard for 24 years and J.D. Vance was in the U.S. Marine Corps for four years.
Veterans share a love for Diet Mountain Dew.
However, Walz spent most of his adult life as a high school teacher and taught for a year in China after graduating from college.
In 1999, he was the faculty advisor for the first Gay Straight Alliance at the school where he worked.
Walz only entered politics in 2004, when he volunteered for John Kerry’s presidential campaign.
In 2006, he ran for Congress and defeated incumbent Republican Gil Gutknecht. He served until 2019, when he was elected governor of Minnesota.
Meanwhile, Vance grew up after a tumultuous childhood in Ohio and went to college after serving in the Navy.
After graduating from Ohio State University, he attended Yale Law School, where he began writing his best-selling memoir Hillbilly Elegy.
Vance briefly worked in politics before moving to the technology sector in California, where he met venture capitalist Peter Thiel.
In 2016, he published his book and became a well-known name in popular culture.
Vance, once staunchly anti-Donald Trump, ran for Senate on a pro-MAGA platform in 2022 and was elected with Trump’s blessing.
Walz addressed the crowd with a fiery speech, praising Harris for fighting “alongside the American people.”
But he quickly criticized Trump, saying he “doesn’t know anything about service. He doesn’t have time for it because he’s too busy serving himself.”
“Trump weakens our economy to strengthen his own hand.
“Make no mistake – violent crime was down there donald trump.
“Not to mention the crimes he committed,” referring to Trump’s criminal conviction.
This comes as…
However, it was Walz’s shots at Vance that gained attention when he stated that he “can’t wait to debate the guy.”
“That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up,” Walz said, to thunderous applause from the audience.
“So you know what’s out there, so say it with me: we’re not going back.
“Good to sleep when we’re dead,” he said of the countdown to election day.
CALIFORNIA SCHEME
Trump criticized Harris’ selection as his running mate in a series of posts on his social media platform, Truth Social.
“This is the most radical left-wing duo in America history. There has never been anything like it and never will be again,” Trump wrote.
“Crazy Kamabla [sic] It is, in fact, CRAZY. I HEAR THERE’S A HUGE MOVEMENT TO ‘BRING BACK CROOKED JOE’.”
Trump’s campaign called Walz “dangerously liberal” in an email to supporters, adding that he would “unleash hell on Earth.”
Who is Governor Tim Walz?
Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate after weeks of chaos for the Democratic Party. Here’s what you should know about your choice.
Democratic politician Walz became Minnesota’s 41st governor in 2019.
The 60-year-old is a retired teacher and former non-commissioned officer in the Army National Guard.
Walz graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato in 2001 and Chadron State College in 1989.
He has been married to his wife and fellow teacher Gwen Walz since 1994.
The pair share two children named Hope and Gus, who were conceived through IVF and fertility treatments, according to the Star Tribune.
Hope graduated from a Montana college, while Gus attends a public school in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Walz was born at West Point, Nebraskain 1964, and grew up in Valentine.
He is known for being punctual and graduated from Butte High School in Butte, Nebraska in 1982.
In 1989, he taught English in China and learned to speak Mandarin.
Walz stopped drinking alcohol after getting a DWI in Nebraska in 1995.
Officers stopped him for going 96 mph in a 55 mph zone, and a breathalyzer test found his blood alcohol concentration was 0.128, according to court records.
After his arrest, he struck a plea deal to have the charges reduced, which was a topic of conversation when he first ran for Congress in 2006.
When state troopers drive Walz around in the state SUV as part of his administration, he sits in the front passenger seat because he gets carsick in the back seats, according to the Star Tribune.
When Walz was 19, his father died of lung cancer.
His mother, Darlene Rose, still lives in Nebraska and sometimes visits her son at the Capitol.
Meanwhile, his son, Don Jr. wrote “Holy crap!!!” on X in response to the choice.
“It’s no surprise that the San Francisco Liberal Party Kamala Harris Want West Coast wannabe Tim Walz as his running mate – Walz spent his administration trying to reshape Minnesota in the Golden State’s image,” it said an affirmation by the Trump team.
“From proposing your own carbon-free agenda to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered vehicles carsand adopting policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda far and wide,” the statement continued.
“If Walz doesn’t tell voters the truth, we will: just as Kamala HarrisTim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is every American’s nightmare.”
As he boarded his plane, Vance described Walz to Fox News as a “San Francisco liberal” and called his record a “joke.”
Vance added that he would debate Walz, but said he first needed to secure the official nomination.
However, Walz called the position “the honor of a lifetime.”
“Vice President Harris is showing us the policy of what is possible. This reminds me a little of the first day of school. So let’s do this, guys! Join us.”
