The Rev. Al Sharpton, a notable African American political activist, took to X to express his support for the selection of Walz as Harris’ running mate.

Sharpton’s statement included a video of Walz attending the funeral of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old African American who was killed by a police officer in Minnesota in 2021.

“In 2020, we demanded justice for George Floyd in Minneapolis. Governor Walz listened to our calls and appointed Attorney General Ellison to lead the investigation. This showed me he is a man who listens and acts in the best interests of his constituents,” tweeted Sharpton.

“We can trust Governor Walz to bring the same openness as Kamala Harris’s vice president. He will be a reliable partner as she leads the nation.”

Sharpton also believes that Walz “has shown he isn’t afraid to confront those who seek to move our country backward, which will help us move forward” and that he will “support Kamala Harris as she aims to become the first Black female President, breaking significant barriers in the process.”
