On Tuesday, former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany speculated that former President Donald Trump is eager to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris’s choice for running mate, Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, based on his liberal track record.

Speaking on “America’s Newsroom,” McEnany suggested that the Trump team is “cheering” over Harris’s decision, highlighting how Walz’s policies are perceived as “far to the left of America.”

“This is a stunning choice. I imagine there’s a lot of cheering at Mar-a-Lago at the moment. Look, Tim Walz, he’s no one to scoff out. He unseated a six-term Republican in Congress … He began as a moderate. And then he had a radical transformation as soon as he got a trifecta in Minnesota,” McEnany said. “I think it is fair to call him a progressive in sheep’s clothing. When you look at his record over the last few years, what you see are transgender surgeries for minors, carbon electrical grid by 2040, driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants. In function, his abortion policy allows abortion until birth.”

There were rumors that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was a leading contender for Vice President Kamala Harris’s vice presidential pick. Shapiro, who is Jewish, led to speculation among Democratic strategists and political observers that Harris might avoid having two minority candidates on the ticket.

Ultimately, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz emerged as the preferred choice, especially among the progressive left, who favored him over Shapiro. Shapiro faced criticism from Democratic anti-Israel activists due to his pro-Israel stance.

“These are policies that are far to the left of America … Kamala Harris has to do the exact opposite of what Tim Walz did,” she continued. “Tim Walz became more progressive. Kamala Harris is trying to become more moderate. But Republicans are going to say, ‘you’ve shed all your progressive policies, but yet you chose a progressive.’”
