Harris's running mate Walz: Trump is too selfish to serve the people of the United States
Trump, meanwhile, he accused of deliberately weakening the economy for his own purposes, disparaging law and order, and sowing "chaos and division."
Earlier on Tuesday, it was announced that Harris had chosen Walz as her running mate in her campaign against former President Trump. The campaign event in Philadelphia marked the start of a multi-day tour through the most hotly contested and pivotal states in the U.S.
Harris stated at the event, "we're fighting for a future where we defend our most fundamental freedoms." She had been searching for a partner who could help build this better future. "A leader who unites our nation and moves us forward. A champion for the middle class, a patriot who, like me, believes in America's extraordinary promise," said Harris. She is here today, she continued, because she has found such a leader in Walz.
The 60-year-old Walz is known as a politician who, with his straightforward language, appeals to voters without a college education, while also advocating for liberal positions. The former National Guard member, teacher, and football coach supports liberal stances on abortion and cannabis, and also advocates for stricter gun buyer checks.
Despite Harris' emphasis on uniting the nation and prioritizing the middle class, some critics argue that her selection of Walz might further divide the country, as he is known for his strong advocacy on controversial issues like stricter gun control and liberal stances on abortion and cannabis. On the other hand, some see this pairing as an opportunity to appeal to a broader spectrum of voters, as Walz's ability to connect with voters without a college education combines with Harris' politics to present an 'Other' perspective in the election.
