tim walz has done that. he can handle anything. >> that remind me of when you made your announcement to run in 2020 in that snowstorm. and a lot of people -- >> yes, he was there. yes. >> were looking to you and just saying, wow, she's tough. i wonder given your personal relationship if you've had a chance to speak with governor walz this morning since this decision? >> well, i didn't talk to him this morning, but i talked to him late last night and was able to see him. we did one last event in minnesota. in his typical way, he used no notes, unscripted. looked at the crowd, would have loved to dive right in there but had a few other thins to do. at one point the band took the microphone off by mistake, and tim was helping me to find the microphone so we could start the event. i'm telling you, he is humble as they come. he is just someone that is just almost -- you want to be around him and talk to him. we had gwen and tim over on new year's day for lunch. my husband and i did. just because they're really a

_ what's tim walz like? it's funny because in _ what's tim walz like?e? it's funny because in right now, the entire world has investigative reporters trying to figure out, what is tim walz really like? the answer is very simple — tim walz is exactly what you see on television, when you see them out in the community, he's a regular guy with an irregular ability to talk to people — and very irregular ability to reach out to people beyond just those who agree with him. i think it's also important to say that tim walz is also, has also always been a leader. you seen vice president harris to someone who rose to the top. the biggest thing is that when he was a come november we are going to see another minnesota man with another e—mail president of the us do you feel they have the ability to take on the significant leads that donald trump had, calmly harasses eaton into those poll leads already so do you think they are the combination to do that with mac i would say the minnesota leader helps break down the leader of wanting to be vice president and now people

what do you make of this tim walz, including, by the way, clapping for himself. into the crowd, he collapse for himself. >> governor walz is actually originally from nebraska. and as a native nebraskan myself, a north omahan, that is nebraska nice of him, clapping for one's self. it's endearing, i believe. the bumper sticker it made me think of governor gretchen whitmer, when she ran her gubernatorial race, her tag line was fix the damn roads. it spoke to something everyone could identify with, the roads, your city roads or driving on the highway, she wants to fix the damn roads, and it was endearing, it was straightforward. i think mind your own dag gone business is right along that line, and it doesn't just speak to what is happening in the reproductive front, not just in some of the battleground states but truly across the country, it speaks to folks and their children, right. it talks about health care, it is education. you know, the mind your own business can go to so many different things. the vice president has been championing since dobbs was overturned.

these attacks she is too liberal, that she is a border czar, et cetera, et cetera and they also view tim walz is somebody that can do that. something that the vice president likes about walz. she sees him as a fighter. they obviously, as you said, adopted that weird word that he continued to use to talk about republicans before even harris replaced biden on the ticket. this is something that they see in tim walz's favor but i also think when you look at his conversations, excuse me, his speech today it was an introduction of all those things that republicans could use against him the harris team knows that maybe america doesn't know exactly who he stand for or who he is so they are trying to introduce them today. these are all positives in the way that the vice president sees tim walz for a running mate. >> all right, jasmine, homies, basil, and voice, great to meet you tonight. >>> when we return, republicans trying to frame tim walz as dangerously liberal. we are going to look at his record because much of it shows that as far from the truth. >>> how kamala harris and donald trump's choices

maybe kamala tim walz pick make sense. ear as inflation was crushing minnesota families, this was tim's priority. >> we want every minnesotan to grow up feeling safe, valued, protected, celebrated and free to exist as their authentic versions of themselves. protecting and supporting access to gender affirming healthcare is essential to being a welcoming and supportive state to the community. >> i have people in my dms who are saying you better do this. because we are moving already to minnesota because we don't know where to go. [laughter] >> laura: yes, kamala harris' running mate believes kids who are too young to get a drink at a bar are mature enough to have their genitals mutilated by a twisted surgeon. but as they're calling him tampon tim insists that the real evil exists in other states. other states that ban the barbarism. >> students are understanding or trying to understand who they are as their gender identity is being developed. they are most at risk. we're there to protect children. we are there to have you un

can _ lot of voters in the middle that tim walz can help relate to. e. we'll wait and see what he says a little bit later on. congressman from massachusetts, thank you for joining us on bbc news. blocks to come here tonight, max, we will have it all live for you on bbc news and we'll chat to you a little later. thanks very much, very busy evening ahead. police in romania have raided the home of the social media influencer andrew tate and announced he faces several new charges. the special prosecution service of the romanian organised crime directorate said police searched tate's four properties on wednesday morning. let's speak to our central europe correpondent, nick thorpe. take us through what has been happening and this new charges, what are they? happening and this new charges, what are the ? , happening and this new charges, what arethe? ., are they? pretty spectacular searches. — are they? pretty spectacular searches, raids _ are they? pretty spectacular searches, raids on _ are they? pretty spectacular searches, raids on andrew. are they? prett

and what i found out is that tim walz got a lot done as governor.d marijuana, [cheers and applause] yeah, it is a weed crowd. he passed family-and-sick leave, codified abortion rights. [cheers and applause] and provided free meals for all school kids. [cheers and applause] which makes him an ironic vp pick. democrats said, man, you've done so much as governor. we'd like to promote you to a position where you'll do absolutely nothing. but if you ask me, his appeal to this ticket isn't just his record as governor. it's his overall vibe. you know? and that vibe, it's midwestern dad as [bleep]. >> hey, everybody, tim here. 11 days to the election. but it's my pro tip of the day out on the road. i got to show you this. this, right here, is the headlight harness on a 2014 ford edge. ford, this is unacceptable. it burned out hot on the connector. so for $7.99 at napa auto parts here in the city, you can replace this. just clip off the back, use some shrink wrap connector, tape it back together, and put it back in. it's about a five minute fix and you're ba

ticket is kamala harris and tim walz. the campaign has been quickly turning out new logos, new teachers, you posters to prove exactly that over the last hour, the harris campaign, of course, has been also busy in forming supporters of the vice president's choice. they have been sending out text messages and emails. and this last tweet from kamala harris, i think really does boil down her choice tim walz, as her running mate. she wrote in this tweet as a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran. he's delivered for working families like that like his it's great to have them on the team now let's get to work the vice president did, of course, make that important phone call to the minnesota governor earlier today. and i am told that in that brief phone call he did inform him, but she still believes that they are the underdogs, but that she also thinks that they can have a winning economic message that is aimed at the middle-class and also winning message when it comes to protecting freedoms. so that certainly gives you a s

kamala harris and tim walz. their failed week and dangerously liberal governor walz previewed how he will respond to trump painting him as ultra liberal in an interview with our own jake tapper on state of the union, just a little over a week ago what a monster kids are eating, eating and having full belly so they can go learn and women are making their own health care decisions and we're a top five business state and we also rank in the top three of happiness. >> look, they're going to label whatever they're going to label. he's going to roll it out, mispronounce names to try and make the case the fact of the matter is where you see the policies that vice president harris was a part of making democratic governors across the country, executed those policies and quality of life is higher. the economies are better. all of those things wow the panel is back. he called it. he said pretty much everything that they would do about him including the fact that even in this there intentionally mispronouncing her name. i m

not necessarily the pick of tim walz, josh shapiro coming out in support of tim walz, calling him anin philadelphia tonight at the rally with and wells walz. he's a governor of a swing state he who is very popular income he will be a key asset for democrats this election cycle and i think beyond. this election cycle and i think be ond. �* , , ., , beyond. it'll be interesting to see where he goes — beyond. it'll be interesting to see where he goes from _ beyond. it'll be interesting to see where he goes from here. - beyond. it'll be interesting to see where he goes from here. nancyl where he goes from here. nancy pelosi has been speaking about walz and she's been calling him at the heartland of america democrat. just talk to me about how you think a little more that could help balance the ticket with harris. you know, particularly records as your mentioning she spent so much of her career there in california, something that the term campaign as we know tries to go after her for, her a radical. do you think that will resonate, this idea of walz being able to speak to that democrats in

tim walz, i think he is ok but— picking tim walz, i think he is ok but they— picking tim walz, i thinky were better - ok but they were better candidates _ ok but they were better candidates but - ok but they were better candidates but i - ok but they were better candidates but i want i ok but they were better candidates but i want toj ok but they were better - candidates but i want to learn more — candidates but i want to learn more about _ candidates but i want to learn more about both _ candidates but i want to learn more about both of _ candidates but i want to learn more about both of them. - candidates but i want to learni more about both of them. you could hear— more about both of them. you could hear the _ more about both of them. you could hear the range - more about both of them. could hear the range of more about both of them.” could hear the range of voices of why people said they were going to vote for kamala harris and tim walz. this important to notify, however, we did speak to some voters in detroit away from this rally early in the day and it was interesting to note the

governor tim walz of the great state of minnesota. so, to those who know him best, to those who know him best, tim is more than just a governor. to his wife, gwen, he is a husband. to his kids he is a dad. to his fellow veterans, he is sergeant major walz. to the people of southern minnesota for 12 years he was congressman. to his former high school students, he was mr. walz. and, to his former high school football players, he was coach. coach. and in 91 days the nation will know coach walz by another name, vice president of the united states. >> so, america, for some folks there just getting to know coach walz' story. is the proud product of a rural class family in rural nebraska. a veteran who served our nation in uniform for more than two decades as a member of the army national guard, and he went to college on the g.i. bill. he is someone who long before he entered politics worked as a teacher. when coach walz and his wife moved from his native nebraska to minnesota nearly 30 years ago, they both took jobs at the local high school.

i5 point, nobody knows much about tim walz. , ., ., tim walz. is that a good thing?m walz. is that a good thing? it's great because _ tim walz. is that a good thing? it's great because the - tim walz. is that a good thing? it's great because the it - tim walz. is that a good thing? it's great because the it gives l it's great because the it gives the country a chance to get to know who tim walz is, and given the sprint of this election, the sprint of this election, the kind of coverage kamala harris has been getting from the very beginning and everybody waiting for this announcement, it is really an opportunity for people to win see who tim walz is, not only today but over the next five days where they will be on all the battleground states. frankly, when you meet you just like the guy. i think what is going to happen over the next couple of days you will see a lot more about his experience, his policies, and we governed the state of minnesota, so it's quite an exciting time for the democratic party. the quite an exciting time for the democratic party.— democratic pa

i think tim walz won this. e's not a long history of walz and harris having a personal relationship. i think walz won this on tv. i think walz was able to show that he can do the things you need a running mate to do, go on the attack, keep your opponents on their feet, but translate your governing style to a different constituency. i like to say, sometimes people speak washington and sometimes people speak american. tim walz speaks american. he will not tell you about a subcommittee chai. he will talk about helping veterans and things like that. in that sense, it strikes me that's what harris is looking for. it does tell me -- i have a yellow flag going, huh, if you squeal loud enough, she hears and responds. there's going to be people that will come away from this experience thinking, huh, the progressive backlash is what got her off of shapiro or off of kelly. in fairness, maybe they didn't vet either. that's also a possibility when all is said and done. on substance, i can't help but have that takeaway. >> th

harris and tim walz make an interesting team because if we remember the rioting in 2020 tim walz was guy who let rioters burned down minneapolis and kamala harris was 1 who bio -- bailed them out of jail so that's an interesting team. >> a great point on the first night of the violent riots tim walz did nothing on the second what did he do nothing. on the third night after a target was ransacked police precinct burned to the ground he did nothing the left-wing mayor of minneapolis was digging the governor to send in the national guard and he refused it wasn't until the fifth day that he finally sent in the guard to restore order but by then it was too late entire neighbourhoods burned to the ground blocks and blocks of businesses looted with 3 americans dead the governor didn't care he said the people of minnesota deserved that this violence because of their lack of equity and inclusion can't make it up you really can't take a look. >> we saw large peaceful protests focusing on the systemic changes that get to the heart of why we are in this situation and when i say we, minneapolis s

tim walz is a dear friend. ave tim and gwen in our lives. they are outstanding public servants and i can't wait for you, philly, the rest of this commonwealth and our entire country to get the chance to know the walzes, the vice president and second lady of this nation. now, i think it is fitting and it is special that kamala harris and tim walz have chosen to launch their campaign right here in philadelphia. in the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection. and importantly, they chose to launch their campaign right here in the birthplace of real freedom. you know, the other side, trump and his sycophants, let me tell you something, they love to talk a big game about freedom. they love to cloak themselves in the blanket of freedom all of the time. they love to talk a good game. but hear me on this. it is not freedom to tell our children what books they're allowed to read. that is not freedom. it's not. it's not. it's not freedom to say you could go to work, but you can't join a union. that is not freedom. it

. >> tim walz's record is a joke. one of the most far left radicals in the entire united states government at any level. i think what tim walz's selection says is that kamala harris is to the far left of her party can which is what she always does. >> the argument is that perhaps mr. shapiro, like joe biden, a staunch pporter of israel, and that has been losing the democrats votes. helena: the u.s. vice president kamala harris chooses the governor of minnesota, tim walz, to be her running mate for november's presidential election. he is in philadelphia, where kamala harris is going to hold a rally shortly. we will be live in philadelphia. hamas announces that israel's most wanted man has been chosen as the new head of the group, taking over from ismail haniyeh, who was assassinated in tehran last week. u.k. prime minister holds the second emergency meeting in two days after anoth night of violence and unrest on the streets in parts of the country. and the u.s. southern city of charleston extends her curfew until wedne

[ cheers and applause ] >> that was minnesota governor tim walz, of course, making his harris campaign debut and taking on donald trump. walz did not hold back there, going over trumps chaos, his criminality, and the weirdness of trump's vice presidential pick, jd vance. joining me now is tim miller, former inc spokesman and host of podcast, thank you so much for being here. i know you have had a long day, but let me start with you. you were at the rally today, you saw the moment tim walz took the podium. what was that moment like in the room? >> in the room, you had with the harris campaign said was 14,000 people in this arena, and really, they were screaming, they were cheering, they were laughing. this was a jubilant crowd, and having covered the democrats and seemed the way that people are so anxious about what president biden was going to do, to see on the other side of the people feeling relief and pure joy, that is what we were feeling. also what was interesting, to watch people react. first, to vice president harris when she was talking about former president trump as this sort

, u, , . about tim walz and why has he been chosen? ., , , ., about tim walz and why has he been chosen? ,, ., , , ., chosen? this cab a very short race to ick chosen? this cab a very short race to pick the — chosen? this cab a very short race to pick the vice _ chosen? this cab a very short race to pick the vice president - chosen? this cab a very short race to pick the vice president and - to pick the vice president and kamala harris does not have much time, let —— a little over two weeks since joe time, let —— a little over two weeks sincejoe biden stepped out of the presidential race, and it has been speeded up process and he was not seen as the favourite the favourite was the governor of the state, pennsylvania, josh shapiro. this led to speculation it might be him, because the first rally was beginning here, but it is confirmed now as tim walz. 60 years of age, military veteran, former teacher, former high school coach, he has also not been to an ivy league university which is quite something. what he does do, he brings balance t

governor tim walz of the great state of minnesota. so, america, some folks are just getting to know his story. he is the proud product of a middle class family in rural nebraska. he's a veteran. he served our nation in uniform for more than two decades as a member of the army national guard. he went to college on the g.i. bill. he is somebody that come along before he entered politics, worked as a teacher. nebraska to minnesota nearly 30 years ago they both took jobs at the local high school. coach tim walz taught social studies and gwen taught english. after school, tim was at the linebacker coach for the football team. where, i heard stories that he had a knack for using the game of football to teach life lessons. he saw potential in kids that sometimes did not even see it in themselves. under the friday night lights coach walz motivated his players to believe they could achieve anything and together, they defied the odds going from a winless record to the school's first ever state championship. and, as i think that everybody here c

who is tim walz? >> so tim walz is the guy that grew up on a farm, work down the firearm ended up going to sign up with the army national guard at age 17, something that i think a lot of americans can relate to kids growing up ben in the nash was in the national guard for years and years and years, moves to minnesota becomes a teacher and a football coach in high school ends up in 2006 deciding to run for congress and was just an incredible blast on the scene and that he was like, so okay, i'll say it normal he was so optimistic and interesting and he never he would speak without a note. he would talk about his military service and what it meant to be an american and what that meant when we were looking at a iraq war and other things at the time. and then he got elected to congress. he chose to go on the agriculture committee on i'm services on veteran friends so when people get to know tim walz and they get to know his story and how he came from. nothing and just decided to serve our country first in

we haven't seen tim walz.ave a camera on his residence for most of the day and you will see him with the vice president kamala harris in philly later this afternoon. big rally there at 5:30. we'll cover that. meanwhile, how does this change the map? does it change the map? trying to figure it out. the power rankings where we are. trump 219 and harris 215. what we're trying to pick up over the past really going back to milwaukee and the republican convention. if you were to take these four states up here, okay, minnesota, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, right? they seem to be pretty much the focus before joe biden dropped out. the reason i say that is i will show you what the polling has shown us. if trump is at 219. if the polling favored him in north carolina and georgia and arizona and nevada, he is right up against the number 268 but not at 270. that's what we thought going into milwaukee. then we thought well, if that's the case, joe biden has to run the table in the upper midwest. now we make the argum

tim walz served in the national guard for 24 years. he responded to floods and tornados, and he spent months on active dutyon overseas doing things like training our nato allies in italy. now, walz has never claimed that he had a combat role in the military. he's never had one. but that's nut the point because there's an understanding among people who serve this country in the military that you have answered a sacred call. no matter what you are whether you're inte the reserve or acti duty, no matter you're a cook or mechanic or fighter pilot, no matter you see combat or not, tim walz never saw combat. but you know who else didn't see combat? j.d. vance. vance was a civil affairs marine who took photos, wrote stories and escorted journalists around iraq. but that doesn't matter because neither of m these two men have ever pretended they were in combat roles. they both had incredibly important noncom bat roles and they're both veterans. the only reason he left the national guard is to run for congress. to go back and listen to how he pr

meantime, back to tim walz, erin to you, instead of accusing tim walz of being a radical progressive, here test on socialism. he said this eight days ago. >> don't ever shy away from progressive values. just do the damn work. >> trace: certainly not trying to hide anything here. >> governor walz is a socialist in sheep's clothing, looking like your neighbour, uncle, but in reality, pushing not only bigger government spending by radical left ideologies in the state of minnesota. they saw a budget surplus, and instead of giving it back to the taxpayers, he tried to raise taxes on minnesotaens for more government spending. this is what we need to be talking about as runs. radical ideologies that american people are going to have less money in their pockets with economy the number 1 issue. >> trace: here he is on mandating parents to allow their kids to become transgender. >> we want every minnesotaen to grow up safe, celebrated and free to exist as their authentic versions of themselves. protecting and supporting access to gender-affirming healthcare is a welcomed and supportive state to

why tim walz?the thumbs up and there you see her with the second gentleman who has also been very productive even before joe biden stepped down on the campaign trail and almost certainly will continue to be a big part of this campaign. can we just talk about relationships, joe? i know you've watched a lot of presidential campaigns. i've mentioned this a number of times on the show, but when joe biden first decided to step down and kamala harris went to what was now her campaign headquarters in delaware, doug told a story about when she was chosen to be vp and going over to the home of the bidens and how welcoming they were. there were cookies. and how joe biden called his parents. and i don't know if you can like put that aside when we hear that a relationship, chemistry, was important to them to whoever she decided to pick. and what does it mean out on the campaign trail to be with people who you trust? who you like? who frankly you can stand to be with 24/7 sometimes. including on a small campaig

he might have a very valid critique of tim walz's policies. im out. >> what do you think of walz as the vice presidential pick, scott? >> look, stuart, he's not a serious candidate. >> michael: oh, really? not serious, huh? i agree. i hate having to listen to unserious people. it really pulls my udders. here's a rule of thumb: you're not allowed to talk about being serious if you have to milk your clothes before putting them on. now to be fair, there are real policy issues republicans have been hitting walz on, like helping undocumented immigrants get health care, and his reaction to the george floyd protests. but they just can't resist a story like this. >> he supports putting tampons in the boys' bathrooms for kids as young as the fourth grade. >> he says republicans are weird, yet this is the governor who put tampons in the boys' bathroom. >> a nickname for him is tampon tim. >> tampon tim. >> we need to introduce tampon tim to the world. >> michael: tampon tim? tampon tim? that sounds like a fictional character parents tell their daughter a

who are you, kamala, who are you, mike walz -- tim, tim walz. you know who he reminds me of? ds me of tim kaine. remember tim kaine when hillary clinton -- who is this guy? you are looking at him, who is he, what is he? >> sandra: jessica, she does have a moment here to tell people who she is into her running mate is. will she do that? >> jessica: i assume so. it's going to be like any normal, here we are as a ticket pitch, and i think that people do know more about them then perhaps my esteemed colleagues at the table do or that they are letting on, and i think that you are going to be really impressed with >> greg: i am impressed already. the guy defended the destruction of cities. i'm impressed. >> jessica: he didn't. he admitted it was an abject failure. he took responsibility. jessica jengeg why are you guys admitting about him admitting it was a failure? >> judge jeanine: give me a break. >> jesse: jessica, the mayor of the town begged him to send the national guard and he didn't. >> jessica: stick with the tampons for little boys. >> jesse: he wrote justice for floyd. t

show the real tim walz. watch this. >> it was an act of disobedience and people need to make sure they feel the proper outlet of concerns. don't shy away from progressive values and one person's socialness and anothers neighborliness. dot damn work. >> the more tension it is and more chance to debt things. >> protecting and supporting access to gender affirming healthcare is essential to being a welcoming and supportive state to the community. community. we talked about this wall, i always say let me know how high. if it's 25 feet, i'll invest in a 30-foot ladder factory. we saw large peaceful protests focusing on the systemic changes. liz: okay, there aren't peaceful protests but riots in minnesota and neighborhoods destroyed and 1500 businesses and smart to go so far left and dozens of far left hard core positions and actions. you know, the tide could be turning because far left congresswoman cori bush just lost her primary in missouri against a pro israel democrat. this is the second squad member to lose

tim walz is right on target. ng just outrage and extreme arguments. they really lack total credibility. i go back to tim as a football coach. i bet if you polled the players who he coached, i don't know if they're democrat, republican, independent, i don't know what they are, but i know they're voting for tim walz, and tim walz was the second dem graduate in 100 years to win his district and win it five times over including during the tea party revolution. that speaks to how he delivers on the ground and in terms of governor. that's a winning formula no matter what trump and vance want to say. >> governor in late 2015, donald trump descended the escalaor at trump tower and thus began an era of fear in the politics. he injected a dose of fear into the electorate that spread rapidly and still exists. let's talk about coach walz and the antidote to fear and what it means to voters, to average citizens, to have someone running for vice president, who looks like someone behind them in line at the grocery store or the g

but here's the thing about tim walz.z is a guy who wants to take children away from their parents if the parents don't agreed to do sex changes and the school wants to. that's crazy, a fundamental violation of parental rights. tim walz is a guy he wants to shift more and more american manufacturing jobs to china. he said it on camera in the name of the green energy scam. if you care about the environment, and i certainly do, why are you going to ship american manufacturing jobs to the dirtiest economy in the world? why wouldn't you keep them right here, in pennsylvania, philadelphia, the places that really need it? [applause] this is the guy that, when rioters were burning down the biggest city in minnesota, was actively cheering them on. do you think the black business leaders in minneapolis are grateful, the working class business leaders are grateful that tim walz allowed rioters to burn down their businesses? do you think people are grateful to have a guy who wants to ship manufacturing jobs to china? there is no way

tim walz is of world america. in some ways i think with the selection of jd vance i think that was a nod and the republican party to someone who grew up in a rural part of the country who may be could persuade people to vote but everybody forgot that jd vance left rural america to go off to college and guess what, he has -- tim walz has lived in rural america his entire life. people who say that he has a west coast liberal, his first trip to san francisco was a couple of weeks ago. and so, we know tim and that he knows rural america. so when rural america says the democratic party does not see yes or no us to say wait a minute you have someone who could be in the white house who knows what these issues are and knows what rural communities need and understands the need for infrastructure, that are housing and the challenges of delivering health care. he also knows we need a farm bill. i am very excited and i believe that tim can be that difference in the margin. if he could persuade even 5% of rural america to vote

minnesota governor tim walz, a former union member himself, is widely considered pro-worker, raking inor endorsements. the campaign releasing video of that acceptance call. walz seen at home in his signature camo baseball cap. harris trusted her gut in choosing the running mate and the chemistry between the pair that was clear last night at temple university. harris calling him coach walz. >> thank you, madam vice president, for the trust you put in me. maybe more so, thank you for bringing back the joy. donald trump sees the world a little differently than us. like all regular people i grew up with in the heartland, j.d. studied at yale. had his career funded by silicon valley billionaires. then wrote a best seller trashing that community. come on! that's not what middle america is. these guys are creepy. yes, just weird at hell. that's what you see. that's what you see. >> the harris campaign introducing walz to the nation as a midwestern dad, highlighting his values, his biography, his accomplishments as governor. republicans trying to define walz as a far left progressive. >> this

we have tim walz and kamala harris. aster and remain so if the american people give her a promotion. >> have you or governor walz reached out to one another. you guys have reached out. >> on the way to the flight in cincinnati i guess in northern kentucky i actually called tim walz and left a voicemail and said congratulations, look forward to our conversation and enjoy the ride and maybe he will call me back and maybe he won't. >> governor and vice president harris will take a battleground state tour over the next couple of days and trump will not be -- >> i'm making a number of public appearances over the next few days to drive home that kamala harris's policies have been a failure for normal americans. the president trump is busy for the next few days. you have to do is raise the resources. the president is very busy doing that. he and i are taking a divide and conquer strategy to the campaign. we do events together but use the fact that we have two people to get out and prosecute a message. one final observation. i k

tim walz is an outstanding governor. tim walz a teacher. tim walz guardsman tim walz hey, great patriot and i'll tell you what i'll tell you what else. >> tim walz is a dear friend and i want you to know lori and i feel blessed to have tim and gwen in our lives. they are outstanding public servants. and i can't wait for you philly, the rest of this commonwealth and our entire country to get the chance to know the walz is, then that's vice president and second lady of this nation. i think that is any of these special the kamala harris and tim walz have chosen to launch their campaign right here in philadelphia, in this city of brotherly love and launch their campaign right here in the birthplace of real freedom the other side trump and his sycophants. >> let me tell you something. they love to talk a good game about freedom, right they loved her cloak themselves in the blank freedom all the time. they love to talk a good game, but hear me on this it's not freedom to tell our children what books their allowed to read. that's not freedom it's

and again, the biggest problem with the tim walz pick, it's not tim walz himself. it's what it says about kamala harris that when given an opportunity, she will bend the knee to the most radical elements of her party. that's exactly what she did here. that's what she's going to keep on doing as president. that's why we've got to elect donald j. trump president states. and i'll take just a couple more here and then we got to hit the road. thank you all. >> senator, do you have any similarities with walz? do you think you have any similarities? sen. vance: well, look, i mean, yeah, we're white guys from the midwest. i guess there are similarities there. but what's different is the actual ideas about how best to serve people. white, black, or anything else in the midwest and everywhere else, right? i can't believe this is a guy who tries to claim that he stands for working people and yet he wants to pursue energy policies that are going to ship everybody's job to china. in some ways what tim walz represents is doubling down on failed 30 years of leadership in this cou

tim walz is a dear friend. tim and gwen in our lives. they are outstanding public servants. i can't wait for you, philly, the rest of this commonwealth and our entire country to get the chance to know the walzes, the next vice president and a second lady of this nation. i think it is fitting, and it is special that kamala harris and tim walz have chosen to launch their campaign right here in philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. and importantly, they chose to launch their campaign right here in the birthplace of real freedom. the other side, trump and his sycophants, they love to talk a good game about freedom. they love to cloak themselves in the blanket of freedom all the time. but hear me on this. it's not freedom to tell our children what books they are allowed to read. that's not freedom. [applause] it's not. it's not freedom to say you can go to work but you can't join a union. that's not freedom.
