Minnesota Attorney General shared insights on Governor Walz's VP nomination by Harris and addressed criticism over his handling of the George Floyd protests. Walz embarks on a solo fundraising tour across 5 states, amid scrutiny from opponents.

His advocacy for trans rights transformed Minnesota into a welcoming community. Misleading claims about his shooting remarks surfaced post his gun control speech.

Walz's VP selection sparks optimism for progressive healthcare reforms beyond Obamacare, contrasting with the Republican push for privatization. Despite challenges, his history of healthcare initiatives indicates a potential for substantial changes in the US healthcare system.

Opposing campaign strategies: Harris’ ‘joy’ versus Trump’s ‘We ... failing nation'

Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, is gaining ground in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, as well as Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. Harris is running a campaign focused on 'joy', while Trump appeals to voters with a message of national decline. Tim Walz, Minnesota's governor, is Harris' running mate, chosen to attract centrist and progressive voters. Harris' campaign draws inspiration from Barack Obama's 2008 victory. Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, faces criticism. Key upcoming events include the Democratic National Convention and the first televised debate between Harris and Trump. The mismatched moods of the two campaigns, Harris' positivity and Trump's darker picture, may play a role in the election outcome. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign claims to have been hacked by 'foreign sources'. President Biden plans to campaign for Harris in battleground states like Pennsylvania.

Vance's Attacks on Harris and Walz Amidst Criticism

JD Vance, the Ohio senator and Republican VP hopeful, lashed out at Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, defending his controversial comments and trying to shift focus to the Democrats. He accused Walz of 'stolen valor', facing backlash for disrespecting Walz's military service. Vance also criticized Democrats as 'anti-family' and faced mockery for false rumors. Recent polls show a decrease in Vance's favorability. Meanwhile, Trump continues to insult Harris, claiming she 'sounds more like Trump than Trump'. John Oliver criticized Vance's remarks and mocked attempts to smear Walz's military record. Trump's attacks on Harris reveal his insecurity as she leads in swing state polls. Vance faced further ridicule for his response to a simple question. Democrats in competitive House races are navigating Harris' positions.
