Trump's campaign called Walz a "dangerous extremist".
Harris' new running mate, Walz, has already clashed with Trump's VP pick Vance, whom he labeled "peculiar." Now, the Republican campaign spokesperson strikes back. They aim to discredit the Minnesota governor as a liberal extremist.
The campaign team of Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump has labeled Tim Walz, the vice-presidential candidate chosen by his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, as a "dangerous liberal extremist." "If Walz isn't telling voters the truth, we will: Just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerous liberal extremist," said Trump's campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. The "dream" of Harris and Walz, she said, is to transform the U.S. into a carbon copy of California - "the nightmare of every American."
Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris has reportedly chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. The 60-year-old, known for his straightforward language that appeals to voters without a college education, recently gained attention for labeling Trump and his vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance as "weird." He coined this term, which has since gained national traction and is frequently used by Harris to describe her rival.
"It is the honor of my life to be on a team with @KamalaHarris," Walz tweeted. "I'm all in." The 60-year-old has been Minnesota's governor since 2019 and previously served as a representative in the U.S. House. Before politics, he was a teacher. The father of two doesn't have a strong national profile but is known for his down-to-earth and direct approach to political messaging. Harris praised Walz's family background and political achievements. "We will be a great team," she wrote. "We will win this election."
The Republican campaign is accelerating their attacks on Kamala Harris' vice-presidential pick, Tim Walz, stating that he could potentially turn the United States of America into another California if given the chance. Despite Walz's straightforward language and appeal to non-college-educated voters, Donald Trump's campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt labels him as a "dangerous liberal extremist" like Harris.
