What to expect from Tim Walz?
Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota, will likely use his “regular guy” reputation to try to woo voters, including some independents, who view Democratic presidential candidate and former California senator Kamala Harris as too liberal.
Walz, 60, is a former congressman who won elections in a Republican-leaning district before becoming governor.
As governor, he pushed a progressive agenda, including free school meals, tax cuts for the middle class and expanded paid leave for Minnesota workers.
He will likely try to provoke Vance, as Kamala did in the debate against Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s presidential candidate.
Walz questioned Vance’s background in the American Midwest and ridiculed his 2016 memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” for its depiction of rural America.
“Like every ordinary person I grew up with, JD went to Yale, had his career financed by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then wrote a best-seller destroying that community,” said the governor at his first rally after being chosen for Kamala’s ticket.
Walz, who is also a former high school teacher and football coach, called Trump and Vance “scary and weird” — a criticism that has spread widely among Democrats.
The Democratic vice presidential nominee tried to link Vance to a set of conservative policy proposals known as Project 2025, which Trump has tried to distance himself from.
What to expect from JD Vance?
Ohio Senator JD Vance will have to try hard not to get defensive during the debate if Walz employs Kamala Harris’ strategy.
Vance, 40, will likely face questions about his inflammatory rhetoric and may fire back with his typical combative style.
He has been criticized for referring to Kamala and other 2021 Democrats as a “bunch of childless women who like cats” and, more recently, for spreading false claims that Haitian migrants in the Ohio city of Springfield were eating animals pet.
The Republican also said without evidence that the suspect in the second alleged assassination attempt on Trump was acting on Democrats’ inflammatory language.
“The big difference between conservatives and liberals is that no one tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last few months and two people tried to kill Donald Trump in the last few months,” Vance said.
On the campaign trail, Vance portrayed Walz and Kamala as radical liberals.
He also questioned the Minnesota governor’s representations of his military background and his family’s fertility issues.
Vance, who served in the Marine Corps and was a public affairs officer during a six-month stint in Iraq, accused Walz of leaving the Army National Guard to avoid deployment to Iraq and of falsely suggesting he served in combat.
Walz, who served in the Guard for 24 years, retired to run for Congress. He defended his past, but Kamala Harris’ campaign acknowledged he misspoke in a 2018 video in which he referenced “weapons of war I carried into war.” Tim Walz has never served in a combat zone.
