During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz humorously revealed the unusual name he has Vice President Kamala Harris listed under in his phone. Walz shared that when Harris first called him to inform him that he would be her running mate, he initially ignored the call, thinking it was a spam call. He only realized the importance of the call after receiving a second one from a high-ranking aide urging him to answer.
To avoid missing future calls from the vice president, Walz saved Harris’ contact under the name “My dry cleaner.” He admitted to Kimmel that he didn’t give it much thought at the time, and when pressed about what he’d do if his actual dry cleaner called, Walz humorously admitted he hadn’t thought that far ahead. Kimmel jokingly suggested that Walz change his dry cleaner’s contact to “Madam Vice President” to avoid confusion.
This playful moment came shortly after Walz’s recent participation in the vice presidential debate, where he faced some challenges, including stumbling over details regarding his whereabouts during the Tiananmen Square protests. Despite these political hurdles, Walz’s appearance on Kimmel provided a lighthearted break from the usual campaign talk.
