Tim Walz left National Guard battalion ‘hanging,’ ‘slithered out the door’ before Iraq deployment: vets
Vice President Kamala Harris tried to define Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz by his Midwestern background, but polling numbers show that the VP pick is far from guaranteed to bring in the key demographic of heartland voters who clamor to former President Donald Trump’s rallies.But Walz, according to polling numbers, doesn’t particularly resonate with the the large swaths of midwestern voters. Just 90 days out from Election Day, most voters across the nation don’t know who he is.
By 2022, his majority there had dwindled to almost the same exact counties that voted for President Biden in 2020, indicating that he resonated with the same pockets of the state that are liberal strongholds.Harris had the possibility of choosing direct battleground leaders to join her ticket such as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro or Sen. Mark Kelly , who could have mobilized more voters to come out in those states.
In Philadelphia on Tuesday, Vance argued that most voters will be deciding based on who is at the top of the ticket. But Walz, he said, allowed “rioters to burn down their businesses” in Minnesota during the George Floyd riots in 2020.4 Both Shapiro and Kelly have larger name recognition that Walz, according to polling numbers, with 25% of Midwestern voters approving of the Arizonan and 18% supporting the Pennsylvanian.Joe Biden bumps elbows with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as he arrives at Amazing Grace coffee shop on September 18, 2020 in Duluth, Minnesota.
