Trump attacks Tim Walz: Campaign releases surprise message

«If Walz won’t tell voters the truth, we will: Like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerous left-wing extremist,» he said.

Trump supporters argue that Walz’s political project in Minnesota has been to «reshape» his state «in the image» of California.

Kamala Harris’s homeland and considered a bastion of the left by Republicans.

According to the Trump campaign, Walz pretends to support American citizens but actually has a disparaging view of them.

«When the cameras are off, he believes rural America is mostly ‘made up of cows and rocks,'» the campaign said.

For Republicans, Walz represents a danger because of his proposals for “stricter emissions standards for gasoline-powered cars.”

As well as «policies that allow convicted criminals to vote,» according to the ‘EFE’ news agency.

The campaign insisted: “Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerous leftist agenda everywhere,” which “is a nightmare for all Americans.”

Which also included Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly.

The governor of Minnesota has a track record that stands out for his progressive approach.

Before entering politics, he worked as a high school teacher and boasts of having approved free school meals for state schools.

Walz has also received endorsements from prominent figures in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, including Senator Bernie Sanders.

Harris’ selection of Walz reflects an attempt to strengthen the progressive wing of the Democratic campaign.

Although this has generated strong reactions from the Trump campaign and his supporters.

The debate over Walz’s policies and his alignment with Harris promises to be a central point in the electoral contest.

As Democrats try to consolidate their progressive base, Republicans are seeking to paint Walz as a radical whose plans they say could harm rural America.

Harris and Walz’s joint appearance in Philadelphia marks the start of what will be an intense campaign for both parties.

The Trump campaign’s attacks underscore the deep ideological divisions that characterize this election.
