IL Republican Party on Harris VP Pick: 'Another Radical Leftist'

August 6, 2024

CHICAGO - Illinois Republican Party Chair Kathy Salvi responded this morning to the news that Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. See below for her statement:

“Vice President Harris’s pick reflects the agenda she intends to bring to this nation: another radical leftist from a deep blue state who will continue the disastrous Bidenomics policies crippling the nation’s economy as we speak. At least Americans can breathe easy knowing that Illinois’s own out-of-touch leftist billionaire governor JB Pritzker won’t be a heartbeat away from the Presidency anytime soon. With leftists like these headlining the Democrat ticket, President Trump’s message of secure borders, safe streets, and prosperous communities will win in November”.
