Kamala’s VP Snaps On Vance

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) pushed back against criticisms from Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) regarding his military service in a speech that intensified the vice presidential race’s tension. This address marked Walz’s initial solo appearance since being announced as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate.

In his speech to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) in Los Angeles, Walz defended his military record and emphasized the respect owed to anyone who has served. “I take immense pride in my service to our nation. It’s important to uphold the dignity of all service members and never belittle their contributions. To all who have donned the uniform, including my opponent, I extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ for your sacrifice,” Walz stated.

Senator Vance, a Marine veteran, has accused Walz of lacking sincerity about his military background. Vance has argued that while he fulfilled his service in Iraq, Walz allegedly left the Army National Guard before his unit was deployed, questioning the authenticity of Walz’s commitment.

Walz, who dedicated over twenty years to the Army National Guard without seeing combat, resigned from the Guard to pursue a Congressional seat before his unit’s deployment. Supporters have noted that his departure occurred before any deployment orders were finalized. Walz defended his record by reflecting on his service and the influence of his father, a Korean War Army veteran, in his decision to join the Guard shortly after his 17th birthday.

The governor’s speech also sought to resonate with union workers, a vital demographic for Democratic campaigns. Walz highlighted his union membership, drawing a contrast with former President Ronald Reagan and expressing confidence in maintaining his principles. “Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have a different perspective on working people, often exploiting them rather than supporting them,” Walz remarked. He further criticized Trump, suggesting he would be out of place in a low-wage job, using a McDonald’s work scenario as an example.

Walz emphasized that Vice President Harris and he understand the vital contributions of workers, including nurses, teachers, and local government employees, in building the middle class. “The vice president and I recognize who truly built this nation. It was everyday workers, and they continue to be the backbone of our country,” Walz added.

Following his speech, Walz is scheduled to participate in a fundraiser in California and continue his campaign trail through Colorado, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York.
