As the vice president introduced her new running mate at an energetic rally in Philadelphia, he quickly demonstrated his ability to deliver searing attacks against Donald Trump and JD Vance.
America’s introduction to Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota began with a half-hour of cheering for Vice President Kamala Harris and ended with some of the sharpest attacks Democrats have leveled against former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio.
Before a raucous crowd in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz presented the Minnesotan as a folksy former schoolteacher and football coach who had inspired his students, served in the military and improved his constituents’ lives.
But it was his ability to deliver searing yet accessible attacks against their Republican opponents that won Mr. Walz a place on the national ticket, and during his first rally, he did not miss his marks.
“Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us,” he said. “First of all, he doesn’t know the first thing about service. He doesn’t have time for it because he’s too busy serving himself.”
Then came the dagger. “Violent crime was up under Donald Trump,” he said, before pausing for effect. “That’s not even counting the crimes he committed.”
Ms. Harris? Last time I checked shes married…
Ms is not Miss
“Missus” is pronounced as “Missiz” and abbreviated “Mrs.”
“Ms” is another title of respect used to address a woman, and it’s pronounced as “Miz”. It’s often used when a woman’s marital status is unknown
It’s also used in many places as just a default for women, like we use Mr. It seems that using Mrs. (and needlessly pointing out someones marital status) is getting outdated and probably should IMHO. It’s how we treat men so I think it’s fair.
Yea I like Ms. cause it’s just easier. All of them are Ms. I don’t want to differentiate Mrs. That’s pretty absurd.
Yeah, despite the fact that I personally use Mrs. for myself (both to honor the fight for my right to marry and to differentiate myself from my wife who uses Ms.) I don’t really use it for anyone else unless I know she prefers it. It’s outdated and on its way out
