Walz on the Trump Camp: Creepy and Weird

A regular man from the middle class, grown up in the countryside, with a background as a military man, hunter, and an experienced governor. That's how the Democrats' presidential candidate Kamala Harris introduced her newly elected running mate. They are creepy and weird as hell, said Tim Walz about the Trump camp.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, 60, described in his first appearance as a vice presidential candidate his upbringing in a small rural town in Nebraska.

When I grew up, I spent my summers on the family farm. My mom and dad taught us to show generosity to our neighbors and to work for the common good, he said.

Now we're going to take those values to the White House.

"Predators"

Harris and Walz, who appeared together at an election rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, unsurprisingly went on the attack against Donald Trump.

He knows nothing about military service because he's too busy serving himself, said Walz, who has served in the National Guard for over 20 years.

Harris highlighted her own experience of dealing with criminals as a prosecutor.

Predators who abused women. Scammers who cheated consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules of their own game, Harris said and continued:

I know Trump's type.

"Weird as hell"

About Trump and his vice presidential candidate JD Vance, Walz said:

They're creepy and weird as hell.

The epithet "Weird" has become an unofficial slogan for Harris' election campaign, since Walz first described Trump and Vance that way during their visit to Minnesota.

From Trump's side, Walz has already been branded as a "dangerous liberal extremist", but Democratic supporters gathered at the campaign rally are positive about Harris' choice of Walz.

He's relatable, said Carlos Ruiz, a 39-year-old corrections officer, about Walz to the AFP news agency.

Harris and Walz are now officially the Democratic Party's nominated candidates for president and vice president, the party announced on Tuesday. The two will also visit Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada in the coming days.
