Thank Christ.

Maybe there’s some hope for Gaza yet.

Never heard of this guy but a quick search suggests he's got a decent record. I'm not American though so my opinion doesn't matter, but looks like a good pick to me!!

Ill be saddened to lose him as governor, but to see him go onto larger issues and to help more people -- I guess that's a sacrifice we can make. Flanagan seems to a be competent lieutenant gov, so we're still helmed by good people.

Go Harris / Walz!

Good! Harris could have screwed herself with some of the other candidates

I absolutely love a little bit of good news in the morning!

This is okay. Although I think they should've picked Hunter, because he has cooler criminal charges than Trump, and would've been able to out flank the republicans on the crime front.
