for more on what the walz pick means for the harris campaign, we're joined now by sonoma state politicalcewen. david, thank you for joining us. this morning. >> well, good morning. >> so, david, first of all, the thought here was on the harris side was she needed to pick someone from a swing state. yet she chose governor tim walz from minnesota, not a swing state. so what does he add to her ticket. >> all right. so there's a couple elements here. one, even though he's from minnesota, you're talking about ten electoral votes. it does bookend those key battleground states for democrats. if we move to the from west to east, wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania, while governor shapiro of pennsylvania was certainly, right there as a rivalry, one, two with, with waltz and pennsylvania brings 19 electoral votes. the view was that, governor waltz would be someone who could be the attack dog, who could go after the other side. there are going to be some issues with him. he's not well known. for example, in the united states, he is very popular in the state. he's plus 15 in terms of his approval o

joining me now is professor david mcewan of sonoma state university. thank you for being with me.ere is a lot riding on it. do you think there is any signs and predicting who will be the running mate? >> we know that it doesn't matter in the home state , the person you select, as usually about two to 2 1/2 points. to that states total. if you look at the kickoff event for kamala harris and a running mate which takes place on tuesday in philadelphia, there has been a lot of speculation about josh shapiro. the governor of pennsylvania. if you look beyond josh shapiro to tim walz of minnesota, he is floated to the top as well as senator mark kelly. there have been a couple of other folks that have been out looking in. and bashir, for example, from kentucky. what all of these folks have in common is that they bring something to the table that kamala harris does not have. whether that is a moderation or aggressive politics or an element that is not in her own candidacy. what happens is they make the announcement and we probably have some inkling today, headed into tomorrow so they can

earlier today, on the four sonoma, state political science professor david mcewen said harrison walz need to keep the momentum rolling. >> so far, democrats are prospectively looking to the future and using trump's age against him. where or where the cases were reversed, if you will. four weeks ago. not a lot of time with less than 2000 hours to go. and with states like virginia and minnesota voting and beginning about september 19th or 20th. >> governor walz is now headed to denver, boston, newport, rhode island, and southampton, new york, over the next two days. >> another powerful union is taking aim at former president donald trump after his conversation on x with elon musk. the united auto workers union filed a federal labor charges against the two men for what it called union busting comments. take a listen. >> you're the greatest cutter. i mean, i look at what you do. you walk in and you just say you want to quit. they go on strike. i won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike, and you say, that's okay, you're all gone. >> and the right to strike is protected

earlier today, we spoke with sonoma state professor david mcewen about the calculations being made by the harris campaign on choosing a running mate, the vice presidential candidate from 1880 to 2020 gives you about 2 to 2 and a half points in their home state. >> that's all they do. so if you think that's enough to put you over the top in the rust belt states, you go with waltz. if you think that's enough for pennsylvania, you go with shapiro. if you think that's enough for arizona and or nevada, you go with someone like senator kelly, so that's one way to do it. the other way is to do it completely differently and go with contrast. pick a woman, pick another person of color, pick someone like mayor pete, or to go completely different, pick something around national security. pick a general or an admiral or something like that. >> the harris campaign says they do plan to announce her running mate by this coming tuesday. a reminder ktvu is your election headquarters leading up to november. you can find the latest stories, announcements and developments around the clock by downloading

earlier today on the four, we talked with sonoma state's david mcewen about the big money that's likely. >> it means that this is going to be the most expensive presidential campaign we've ever seen, because donald trump outspent in 2016 and 2020, doesn't want to have that happen. now so this is going to be an arms race of dollars and spending as we move to those battleground states. >> today, the trump team announced it raised $139 million in july and has $327 million on hand. meantime, the harris campaign raised $200 million in just the first few days after president biden announced he was withdrawing from the race. republican vice presidential nominee jd vance toured the us-mexico border today in cochise county, arizona. vance met with border officials, where he continued to hit vice president kamala harris over the administration's border policies. vance called the vice president a border czar for her early assignment to address root causes of immigration in central america, and blamed her for a surge in illegal crossings. the border patrol is expected to announce a 30% drop in arre

we're joined live this afternoon by david mcewen, chair of the sonoma state's political science department. david, always a pleasure to see you, sir. so as we mentioned, not a lot of time here to make this decision. why walls? how does he help harris's campaign and how does he help expand her appeal? >> i mean, look, greg talked about it on the lead in in terms of those rust belt states. and certainly, brian sobel went represented, you know, how walz has come from places where he's been able to reach across the aisle and flip districts. but but walz has a secret weapon. that secret weapon is he was a teacher and a coach. the best part of my job is reaching students and being with young people and providing an optimism about the world, he provides an optimism, not a pessimism. and that optimism is more than just being an attack dog. it's about providing a view of the world that's prospectively that america's best days are ahead of it. that's really hard, because at the same time, what he also does is he says, look, we made mistakes. like we made mistakes in how we responded to the riots in

he's a political science professor at sonoma state university.at to see you on a saturday morning. >> good morning, max, nice to see you. >> vice president harris has bay area roots, of course. how do you think her california background has shaped her campaign thus far? >> well, viewers are going to hear a lot about california over the next 87, 85 days or so. part of that is because obviously, donald trump and republicans are going to want to paint her really as a california, west coast liberal. nancy pelosi liberal. that's certainly what we're going to see. kamala harris has a compelling biography. she energized democrats, and in addition, they raised a lot of money. we have seen the polls change dynamically, the race has changed, and even though we might look at head to head polling in swing states, a huge and important barometer, the expectations edge has changed. now there's an expectation's edge that she is competitive, if not ahead by voters. that expectation lends itself to this momentum that is continuing and also highlights the money tha

and david always nice to see you, professor and chair of the political science department at sonoma state. so tonight, former president obama will address democrats. we know that he is hugely popular, a hugely popular figure in the democratic party. but what kind of impact do you believe he can have? >> well, look, barack obama's job is to not only rile up the base, get out the vote, but also, in some ways delivering continue that passing of the torch and the baton. when barack obama was elected in 2008. it's certainly a pivotal moment. and there is a lot of consternation about what comes next for the country right away. when that happens. nonetheless, with that happening, you still have what comes next with the next generation of democrats. that's interrupted for the democratic party with hillary clinton, joe biden takes that transition and that plays an important role, not just for barack obama, but for the former first lady of the united states, michelle obama, who's as popular as barack obama, if not more popular. so together they help the democrats. counterprogramming with day two, y
