Former President Trump responded Wednesday morning to the nomination of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as Kamala Harris' running mate, saying he “couldn't be more thrilled” that the vice president made the “shocking choice.”

“He's a very, very liberal man, and it's a surprising choice. I couldn't be happier,” Trump told the “Fox & Friends” co-hosts in an exclusive interview.

Trump then recalled one of the “only” times he interacted with him, explaining how Walz reached out to him for help when protesters were at the governor’s mansion.

“They only had one guard, I guess he was at the mansion or his house somehow,” he said. “And he called me and I said, ‘What do you want me to do about this?’ I was at the White House. He said, ‘If you could get the message out that I’m a good person,’ and I did, I got the message out, I said, ‘He’s a good person. I hope everything’s OK.’ And everybody put down their flags and took them with them.”

“But they took their American flags and their MAGA flags and they left. It was thousands of people,” he continued.

The former president warned that Walz was more radical than Harris on key issues like immigration and crime, as critics fear the Harris-Walz ticket is the most left-wing in the country's history.

“If you look at his record, with no walls, no security, and letting everybody in, he’s worse than them,” he said. “Nobody knew how radical left she was, but he’s a smarter version of her, if you want to know the truth.”

“There’s never been a ticket like this,” he continued. “This is a ticket that wants this country to go communist immediately, if not sooner. We don’t want security. We don’t want anything. He’s very committed to transgender. Anything transgender seems great to him, and he’s not where the country is on anything.”

Harris announced Tuesday that she had chosen Walz as her vice presidential running mate, just hours before the couple made their first public appearance together at a campaign rally in Philadelphia.

“I am proud to announce that I have asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate,” Harris officially announced on X. “As a governor, coach, teacher and veteran, he has helped working families like his.”

The nomination of Walz, 60, was no surprise, as his name was immediately considered a contender within two weeks of Harris succeeding President Biden as the party's standard-bearer.

“It’s a shocking choice, and I think it’s very insulting to Jews,” Trump said. “And I think it’s very insulting to people who want security. I think it’s very insulting to anything that has to do with making America great again.”

Walz, a former congressman, is serving his second term as governor of Minnesota, a state that Democrats have consistently won in presidential elections for decades but the Trump campaign has sought to reverse that cycle.
