O’Rourke, Walz history
Before becoming Governor of Minnesota, Walz was a Congressman, serving at the same time as O’Rourke in the House.
After Walz was chosen to be Kamala Harris’ running mate, O’Rourke shared a lengthy post about Walz.
“We became friends in Congress, going on early morning runs (in the dead of DC winter, I’m bundled in layers and he’s wearing a t-shirt and shorts), talking Minnesota music, the Replacements (Tim!), Prince, Dylan, Husker Du, and sharing stories about our families and hometowns,” wrote O’Rourke at the time.
During O’Rourke’s senate run against Ted Cruz, Walz called O’Rourke a “great friend” on social media.
