House Speaker says Harris selection of Walz predictable but good for GOP

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision to choose Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) will make it “easier” for former President Donald Trump to win the presidency in November. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro had been believed to be a frontrunner until the campaign selected Walz. The announcement came Tuesday morning.
