Donald Trump’s marketing campaign was fast on Tuesday morning to assault Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris’ working mate, as a “radical leftist.” In different phrases, they’d the press launch able to go some time in the past and simply plugged in Walz’s identify.
“It’s no surprise that San Francisco Liberal Kamala Harris wants West Coast wannabe Tim Walz as her running-mate—Walz has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden State,” reads the assertion, which was launched on Tuesday morning. “Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is each American’s nightmare.”
It’ll be onerous to make that assault stick, although, given who Walz truly is.
Right here’s how the Harris marketing campaign launched him Tuesday morning on its web site: “Governor Walz is a champion for America’s working families. He enlisted in the Army National Guard when he turned 17 and served for 24 years, rising to the rank of Command Sergeant Major. After attending college thanks to the GI Bill, Tim Walz served his community as a high school teacher and football coach—taking his team to the state championship for the first time in the school’s history.”
That’s who Trump is warning in a fundraising electronic mail will “unleash HELL ON EARTH.” In response to the Trump workforce, Walz is “even worse than Dangerously Liberal and Crooked Kamala Harris—HE’S THAT BAD.”
They’re reaching into their drained outdated playbook of assaults, making an attempt to maintain the concern ginned up of their MAGA base. It might have been the identical press launch and similar fundraising electronic mail for any of Harris’ potential picks. But it surely’s significantly ineffective towards this man:
On Tuesday morning, Trump’s working mate, Sen. JD Vance, wouldn’t reply the straightforward query of whether or not he’ll debate Walz. So at the least that a part of the concern within the Trump-Vance marketing campaign is actual.
Trump and Vance are dealing with a ticket of regular, glad individuals with stable coverage chops and the vitality and enthusiasm to get the job finished, and it’s terrifying them.
