Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz used his first speech as Vice President Kamala Harris‘ running mate at Monday’s rally in Philadelphia to tear into former President Donald Trump, and everything he stands for.
“Minnesota’s strength comes from our values, our commitment to working together to seeing past our differences, to always being willing to lend a helping hand,” said Walz. “Those are the same values I learned on the family farm and tried to instill in my students. I took it to Congress and to the state Capitol. And now Vice President Harris and I are running to take those very values to the White House.”

“Now, Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us,” said Walz, as the crowd began to boo his name. “First of all, he doesn’t know the first thing about service. He doesn’t have time for it because he’s too busy serving himself, again and again … Trump weakens our economy to strengthen his own hand. He mocks our laws. He sows chaos and division.”
“And that’s to say nothing of his record as president,” said Walz. “He froze in the face of the COVID crisis, drove our economy into the ground, and make no mistake: violent crime was up under Donald Trump.”
As the crowd roared, Walz added, “That’s not even counting the crimes he committed!”
