Democrat nominee Kamala Harris’s pick of radical leftist Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate is a “gift” to Republicans in the opinion of former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
The businessman who’s been dubbed the “CEO of Anti-Woke Inc.” sees the choice as a chance for the “reset” that the Trump campaign needed to shift the election back to the issues and the contrast between the two parties.
Ramaswamy appeared on Tuesday’s edition of “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Fox News after Harris introduced her pick at a rowdy rally in Philadelphia.

Asked by Watters how the pick changed the dynamic of the race, Ramaswamy was optimistic that it would prove to be a monumental strategic blunder on the part of Harris.
“The reality is, to be totally frank, the last few weeks have not been our best Jesse,” he responded. “This gives us the reset that we needed. This is a gift from on high from the Democratic Party.”
“It is also a lens into how Kamala Harris will govern,” Ramaswamy added. Unlike a lot of other people, I don’t think Kamala Harris is particularly ideological. I don’t think she has far-left ideology, I don’t think she has any ideology. But it shows how she’s gonna buckle to pressure because this was the first presidential-style decision that she had before her. Do you want a governing agenda of a centrist, who I disagree with on a lot of things, but Josh Shapiro, or do you want to buckle to the cave of the pressure from the radical left?”
“She made the choice, and so I think that this is our best lens to see how she’s going to govern,” he continued. “The reality is the vice president is far less relevant. He’s not going to be the one setting policy. The reason I actually find this decision fascinating is it gives us a lens into the way Kamala Harris makes decisions and the reality is that she buckles to the person who ultimately puts the most pressure on her. That’s what we learned today. This is a gift. It resets the race and I think we are on the path back yet once again to a victory because Pennsylvania could back again be in play for Republicans.”
Ramaswamy added, “The reality is this is a guy, they’re pitching him completely the wrong way as some type of midwestern unifier. First of all, you can’t be the unifier while also leading the charge on calling 70-plus millions of Americans weird in his term.”
Walz is the one credited for coming up with the teenage girl term “weird” to describe former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), and the idea that he could be a unifier is as ridiculous as when Joe Biden claimed the same thing.
“She wasn’t making a sound decision but there’s three issues that matter in this election,” he said. “Immigration, economy, crime. On economy you raise taxes, shows you what he thinks about economic growth. On immigration, he wants to build a ladder over the border wall and give free health care and taxpayer subsidies to migrants. And on crime that’s really where the George Floyd riots come in.”
“This is not turning America into St. Paul or Minneapolis. That’s what they want to do, we say no, we have a clear choice to do it in the ballot box in November and I think this is now our race to lose, let’s step up, focus on our agenda, and if we do we win this thing,” Ramaswamy concluded.
“Walz is a massive gift to Republicans. The media keeps trying to hand Kamala the race on a silver platter, but apparently she refused to accept it,” he wrote on X after Harris announced her pick.
