Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is joyous about the joy.

“All the things that make me mad about those other guys and all the things they
do wrong, the one thing I will not forgive them for is they tried to steal the
joy from this country. They try and steal the joy,” Walz, the Democrats’ new
vice-presidential candidate, said at a boisterous Detroit Metro Airport rally
Wednesday for his new running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris. “But you know
what? You know what? Our next president brings the joy! She emanates the joy!”
