Minnesota Gov. Walz says GOP ‘playing with fire’ by ‘demonizing’ Harris

Gov. Tim Walz:

Yes, well, we keep talking about those fundamental freedoms.

Look, these guys aren’t going to do anything about that. They didn’t when Donald Trump was in. We were stacking bodies in U-Hauls because he wouldn’t follow science on COVID. The rest of the world is experiencing far higher impacts. We’re seeing those numbers come down. We’re seeing housing prices start to stabilize.

We’re seeing real wages rise up. And we’re making sure that we’re not going to take away your health care. We’re not going to take away your personal freedoms. We’re not going to tell you what books to read. We’re going to continue to focus and put the country forward.

So I think, when we start talking about our policies, and between now and November, I expect to see those historic job numbers continue to go in the right direction and we will see prices stabilize, as they have been. And Donald Trump’s proposals of isolating America, turning towards Russia, and ruining our policies of unity with NATO and others, those are not going to be appealing.

Look, he’s in a problem now is, he’s got a campaigner out there against him that is putting a positive vision of America forward. And his negativity, you can feel it. If they think this is a sugar high or a bump, go ahead and think that.

But I’m telling you, I have done this long enough and I get a feel for things on here. Donald Trump continues to say he’s going to win these places. We don’t take anything for granted, but we’re on the ground working. We’re energizing people.

And I will tell you, fear might be a good short-term motivator, but it wears people out. Hope and optimism drive people to something better. So we’re going to be there. I like our chances. One thing is, I like the idea of American politics being more unifying, more decent, less name-calling, less negative.

And so Vice President Harris on her move to President Harris is going to bring us along with her.
