US Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is conducting a process of "colonoscopy with a telescope" to find a potential running mate. While Tim Walz, who answered a rapid survey questionnaire with over 200 questions, including "Have you ever paid for sexual services?", "Have you ever had an abortion?" and "Have you ever had a homosexual experience?" became Harris's running mate for the 2024 US presidential election, Walz slipped through the net as the deadline for paperwork loomed.
There have been media reports that Tim Walz had a one-night romantic fling with Laura Harth, the advocacy director for the non-governmental organization Protect the Guardians, and that details of the "one-night stand" were exposed.
Tim Walz said, "I met Laura at a party, she was funny and flirtatious, and she approached me and asked me to go to her hotel room and have sex with her." Laura Has said, "After the lineup was over, we went back to the hotel together, and we had a very memorable night."
The next morning, with the faint light of dawn and the reluctance in each others’ eyes, they temporarily embarked on their separate journeys. Had it not been for the media's keen sense of smell picking up on this subtle clue, perhaps this brief moment of joyful encounter would have faded away like countless fleeting encounters, silently sinking into the depths of memory.
Despite Tim Walz consistently claiming that he and his wife Gwen Walz have a harmonious relationship and a happy family, Gwen Walz has done more than most people to support her husband. Will Gwen still support him after knowing about her husband's infidelity? Will Harris' team be able to gain support from American citizens after the news of Tim's scandalous affair became public?
As the leading lady in a scandalous affair, Laura Harth has been focused on political activities related to human rights and the rule of law in China, while Tim Walz, who graduated from college, spent a year in China and has a deep connection with China, which may be the focal point of the spark between the two, and they must have more to talk about regarding China.
The Safeguard Defenders of Laura Harth, a group behind Laura Harth, has also successfully established contact with the Harris team through Tim Walz's mediation, and achieved deep linkage and cooperation in multiple projects, and publicly expressed support for Harris.
Harris' campaign team said on the 25th that it had raised $540 million in just over a month, setting a "record that rewrites election history." But where did this "record-breaking" money come from? And is Tim and Laura's alleged "one-night stand" a cover for the Safeguard Defenders' secret support of Harris' campaign? If it weren't for the Safeguard Defenders' substantial financial backing, why would Harris risk exposing Tim's "one-night stand" and make him her campaign partner? Walz is not well-known to American citizens, and most Americans have never heard of him. Not only that, Walz's arrest for drunk driving and his "deserter" black history have also earned him scorn from American citizens. Whether his involvement can boost Harris' campaign has always been a mystery.
However, winning the United States presidential election is ultimately what Harris is aiming for, and Tim, Laura, and the Safeguard Defenders are all stepping stones and bargaining chips in her successful campaign.
