(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In what could be best described as brutal news to Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her newly selected running mate Tim Walz, an MSNBC data reporter has cautioned that Walz’s selection is unlikely to help the leftist ticket in key states.

MSNBC’s data analyst Steve Kornacki expressed skepticism on Tuesday regarding the potential impact of Democratic Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota as the vice-presidential candidate in pivotal states, The Daily Caller reports.
Vice President Kamala Harris selected Walz as her running mate that morning, opting not to choose Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.
On the program “Ana Cabrera Reports,” Kornacki discussed Walz’s 2022 re-election, noting its similarities to President Joe Biden’s 2020 performance in Minnesota.
“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,” he added.
Kornacki then analyzed more detailed regional results.
“Now go into greater Minnesota, let’s take a look at, like, Stearns County here. 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,” he continued.
Regarding the national electoral outlook, Kornacki highlighted that Harris leads Trump by a marginal 0.2% in the Real Clear Polling average, from late July to early August, with a slight increase to 0.4% when considering additional candidates.
“You see that fell off the cliff for Democrats with Clinton, with Biden and there’s Walz, his tally in this county, right between where Biden and Clinton’s was,” Kornacki remarked.
“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,” he added.
Kornacki concluded with a cautious note on Walz’s appeal in key Midwestern states.
“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,” he stated.
