Kamala Harris' VP pick is Minnesota governor Tim Walz, and The Daily Show has some thoughts.

In the clip above host Michael Kosta goes through the things Walz has accomplished as governor, before moving on to the man's vibe.

"His appeal to this ticket isn't just the record as governor, it's his overall vibe, you know? And that vibe is Midwestern dad AF," says Kosta, before playing a video of Walz showing how to replace a burned out headlight harness.

"Jesus Christ, that is the most dad video I've seen in my life. That is a man who watches Band of Brothers while standing up with his arms crossed. If this dude becomes vice president they're going to find him out on White House lawn changing the oil on a predator drone. Don't call the Pentagon, they'll charge you an arm and a leg. All it needs is a countersunk head ball, come here, I'll show you, come here."

For more Daily Show coverage of the political race so far, we've rounded it up here.
