MSNBC’s data guru has spelled doom for the Democrats’ hopes of retaining the White House after Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate for the November election.
Data reporter Steve Kornacki said Tuesday that Walz may not be able to move the needle in key states as the Democrats’ vice-presidential nominee.
Vice President Harris announced Tuesday morning she chose Walz to be her running mate.
Harris passed over Pennsylvania’s Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro.
During an appearance on “Ana Cabrera Reports,” Kornacki said that Walz’s 2022 re-election win was similar to how Democrat President Joe Biden carried Minnesota in 2020.
“When you look at what Tim Walz actually pulled off to get elected, to get re-elected in 2022, it’s the Biden model, demographically, regionally,” Kornacki told host Ana Cabrera.
“You go county by county, there’s not much variance between how Walz did and how Biden did.
“Walz ran up huge numbers, look at this, this is the biggest county in the state, Hennepin County, Minneapolis here.
“Walz ran up huge numbers, Biden ran up huge numbers.
“Now go into greater Minnesota, let’s take a look at, like, Stearns County here,” Kornacki continued.
“Look, Walz lost this by 23 points.
“What did Biden lose it by? 23 points.
“And this is the kind of county, by the way, in Minnesota and across the Midwest here, that Democrats are hoping Walz will help them with,” Kornacki warned.
“Look, let’s go back in time here,” he continued.
“Once upon a time, just a dozen years ago, Democrats weren’t winning a county like this, but look, Barack Obama was able to get 43% of the vote here, basically run just over 10 points behind Mitt Romney.
“Obama was able to do that in a county like Stearns, and he was able to do that in counties like this all over the Midwest: Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.”
“You see that fell off the cliff for Democrats with Clinton, with Biden,” Kornacki added.
“There’s Walz, his tally in this county, right between where Biden and Clinton’s was.
“So, the Walz victory in 2022 looks like what is now a standard Democratic victory in Minnesota: Heavy reliance on the Twin Cities metro area and taking big losses in greater Minnesota.”
“The Democrats’ hope is that he’s going to appeal to the blue-collar areas in these other three states, maybe he will, but when you look at what he’s done in Minnesota, you don’t quite see that,” Kornacki said.
WATCH:
Shortly after Walz was confirmed as Harris’s running mate, details began to spread on social media about the Democrat governor’s radical policies.
As Slay News reported earlier, Walz is a vocal supporter of forcing Americans to pay a “carbon tax” to meet “Net Zero” targets.
Walz also fueled the violent “George Floyd” riots in 2020 while delaying National Guard deployment, he championed extreme transgender surgery for children, and he’s a vocal advocate for radical open borders policies.
He also recently called Trump supporters “fascists” after the failed assassination attempt against the 45th president.
