Tim Walz has a plainspoken, Midwestern style that could be an asset to the Harris campaign. Trump is calling him a California liberal.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz speaks during a campaign rally with Democratic presidential candidate, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris at the Liacouras Center at Temple University on August 6, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.has skyrocketed into the public eye after being named Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, voters have been introduced to his plainspoken, Midwestern communication style.
George Washington University Professor David Karpf agrees: “Two weeks ago, delivering that line about Donald Trump and J.D. Vance just being plain weird wouldn’t resonate, but because the ‘Midwestern dad governor’ said that, he can deliver that line and have it land really well.”The contrast between Walz and Harris, who is from California and spent her early career in San Francisco, also lends stylistic balance to the ticket.
The Trump campaign has already begun trying to separate Walz from his Midwestern identity, instead tying him to a “West Coast” liberalism like the kind they argue Harris represents. On Aug. 6, the Trump-Vance campaign released a statement about “Radical Leftist” Walz as Harris’ running mate, calling him a “West Coast wannabe.”
