Tim Walz stressed his background and insisted that Donald Trump would take the United States ‘backwards’ as he came out on the campaign trail for the first time as Kamala Harris’s vice presidential running mate at a boisterous Democratic Party rally.
Thus, during the event in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, the head of the party’s nominee for the post of vice president called the Republicans who will compete in the November election‘weird a as hell’.
The Minnesota governor addressed a large group of supporters within a few hours after the announcement that Ms. Harris had selected him for the job.
However, the Trump campaign did not miss a chance to label Mr. Walz as a ‘dangerously liberal extremist’.
The 60-year-old is advertised as a man who could regain the affection of the rural and working population that has shifted to Trump in the Midwest states.
Speaking at a rally in the swing state of Pennsylvania, Ms. Harris, now the US vice president, said she and Walz are the ‘underdogs’ in a contest that experts believe will be very tight, but the ‘underdogs’ are the’moving train’. She formally presented her running mate as “a fighter for the middle class, a patriot.”.
Mr. Walz then spoke about his past, being a Nebraskan with a past as a national guardsman and a teacher before silently struggling to make Trump comparisons.
“He knows nothing about service, as he is too self-serving,” laughed the once army sergeant and now high school football coach.
He received some of the most praising applause in the night, as he pointed at the criminal history of the former president, to the resound of “lock him up” from the people in the venue.
