Walz makes Harris ticket debut with pointed attack on Trump

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) made his debut on Tuesday as Vice President Harris’s running mate during a raucous rally in Philadelphia, where he took on former President Trump and sought to sustain the enthusiasm Democrats have built over the past two weeks.

Harris and Walz spoke in front of a crowd of roughly 10,000 people, the largest audience this cycle for either Harris or President Biden when he was a candidate. 

“That’s what this election is about. What direction will this country go in? Donald Trump would damn sure take us backwards, let’s be clear about that,” Walz said.
