Tim Walz, the newly minted Democratic vice presidential candidate, found himself with a big fan Tuesday night — fellow “veepstakes” contender and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Buttigieg gushed over Walz in an interview with MSNBC host Jen Psaki on “Alex Wagner Tonight.”
“I’m really excited,” said Buttigieg. “Like you said, she had so many great directions she could go in. She also has found an extraordinary partner who has brought that joy immediately to the campaign trail.”
Buttigieg emphasized that Walz can help the campaign deliver a message of unity.

“I think [it] sets up this ticket and this campaign even more than was already true to be about all of us,” he said. “That’s what I’m really excited about.”
Americans can tell Walz is about cultivating and supporting other people, as evidenced by his experience in teaching, coaching and serving as a senior non-commissioned officer.
“I think it’s one of the reasons why the Trump campaign can’t figure out what to do with this ticket, even moreso today than what’s been true ever since she became the nominee ” he said, taking a shot at Harris’ GOP rival. “They cannot fathom a campaign or any leaders who are not about themselves.”
