NPR spoke to the guy who owned HarrisWalz.com until yesterday. He’s made a habit of buying up political domains and sitting on them for years, waiting for a payoff:
In August 2020, anticipating Harris might run again in the future, he snapped up 15 Harris-related domain names, combined with “every sort of folksy white man I could think of who was big at the time.” Those include Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and, of course, Walz.
