The Trump campaign and top Republicans have started attacking Tim Walz, calling him “far left,” “dangerously liberal,” and a “radical.” Kamala Harris said she chose Walz because he is dedicated to helping middle-class families. Trump wrote on social media that Walz would “create chaos and let in the worst criminals.”
JD Vance, Trump’s VP pick, said Walz is on the “far left” of the Democratic Party and was chosen because Harris is also a “radical.”
Vance and other Republicans criticized Walz for taking two days to send the National Guard during the 2020 Minneapolis riots after George Floyd’s murder.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis echoed this, saying Walz “let Minneapolis burn.” State officials reported that several nights of rioting caused major destruction and damage in the Twin Cities.
Walz was also criticized for a recent video where he said Democrats should embrace their progressive values, stating, “One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.”
Senate Republicans responded on social media, calling Harris and Walz the “most extreme ticket in history.” Some Republicans see Walz as a weak choice and believe he could help Trump win in November.
Trump and his allies have also tried to portray Harris as “ultra-liberal,” criticizing her work on border security and the Biden administration’s economic policies.
