Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a potential vice presidential pick for Kamala Harris, on Tuesday railed against Republicans “weird” policies.
"These are weird people on the other side. They want to take books away. They want to be in your exam room,” the Democratic governor said in an interview on “Alex Wagner Tonight” on MSNBC. “That's what it comes down to. And don't get sugarcoating this — these are weird ideas."
“Listen to them speak. Listen how they talk about things,” Walz continued. “Listen to how your previous guests were right. Like you said: they've told them that they shouldn't talk about race. They can't help it. It is built into their DNA because there is no plan. There's no health care plan.”
Walz is considered to be a top candidate, along with the likes of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, and federal Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigeg, to be Harris’ running mate. And Walz and many of those potential candidates in recent days have made the cable news rounds to condemn Republicans like Donald Trump and his VP pick JD Vance.
“In rural America, my relatives are watching Fox News. I get it. But I think we can take a message to them,” Walz said. “It's going to be a tight race. But we're going to win. And you talked about this new coalition, the Obama coalition. I'll tell you that I believe soon-to-be-President Harris will win older white folks like me, like my family, because it's a message that matters to us. She's talking that we matter, that our schools matter, that our jobs matter, that our environment matters, those freedoms.”
