Jen Psaki on MSNBC saying it's been a huge mistake to keep Walz on a leash the last few weeks. Saying he needs to be out there and be free to make mistakes and be authentic and connect with people.

She’s on the money with this. Walz is a great retail politician in the way Biden was. Harris should be doing the rallies and speeches and Walz needs to be doing a dozen meet and greets a day. He could shake the hand of every undecided voter in Pennsylvania if he’s fast enough.

He has been doing that? He's been touring restaurants and diners and football games for the last few weeks

I do too. Maybe they were keeping him under wraps for debate prep, but we need to be seeing a ton of him on the campaign trail over the next month.

He should just camp out in PA. Do some 20 county bus tour in the rural areas. Driving up support there even a tiny amount wins the state easily for the Dems.
