“That's not what you need in your life," he said.
The race for the White House is heading into the final stretch with most polls showing Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump neck-and-neck in key states with less than two weeks to go.
As of Friday morning, more than 31 million Americans cast an absentee ballot or voted early in person, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida.
Roughly 13.7 million people voted early in person, the lab reported, and more than 17.7 million returned their ballot by mail.
Gov. Tim Walz, his wife Gwen Walz and their son Gus Walz voted early in St. Paul on Wednesday. The precinct cheered for Gus Walz as he voted for the first time.
"Exciting, an opportunity to turn the page on the chaos of Donald Trump and a new way forward,” Tim Walz said in brief remarks following the vote.

The Harris-Walz campaign continues to court young voters, announcing a college campus tour in swing states intended to promote early voting.
“This week, Team Harris-Walz is launching the ‘Vote for Our Future’ early vote college campus tour to mobilize young voters on college campuses across battleground states, encouraging them to make their voices heard, register to vote, and vote early,” the campaign told ABC News.
Officially launched Friday, the early vote campus tour includes a new seven-figure targeted ad buy for battleground college students, as well as concerts, block parties, food and campaign merch.
In addition to second gentleman Doug Emhoff and Maya Harris hosting an early vote mobilization event and concert near the University of North Carolina campus Tuesday evening, Gov. Tim Walz will also visit Duke University in North Carolina on Thursday, the campaign said.
Additional events at Michigan State University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and University of Michigan are scheduled for this week.
These efforts are coupled with a seven-figure ad buy that targets students in battleground states through social media ads and out-of-home ads on campuses, the campaign said.
On Wednesday, the DNC also announced an expansive, mid-six-figure ad campaign targeting young voters on college campuses across battleground states and directing them to IWillVote.com, according to a press release.

The Harris campaign seized on former White House chief of staff and ex-Marine general John Kelly's remarks panning Trump as a "fascist," among other things, convening a press call of former GOP military leaders to sound a similar alarm.
"This is a difficult conversation for me as a lifelong Republican who always, you know, supported the Republican Party until Donald Trump came along," Brig. Gen. Steve Anderson said.
Anderson mocked the fact that Trump "couldn't qualify to be in the military -- he has 34 felony convictions -- so, how can we have the commander-in-chief be in charge of a military that he couldn't possibly join?"
Kevin Carroll, who served as senior counsel to Kelly when he was Homeland Security secretary under Trump, also underscored the seriousness of Kelly's surprisingly public rebuke of his old boss.
"I had the honor of working aside him, and I know him speaking out this way was no small step for him," Carroll said.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris' running mate, is casting his ballot Wednesday in the 2024 election.
Walz is voting with his wife Gwen and their son Gus, who is a first-time voter, according to the campaign.
They will vote early for Harris at the top of the ticket, the campaign said. They will also vote for Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who is seeking a fourth term, and Rep. Betty McCollum as well as other Democratic candidates further down the ballot.
Hope, the governor's daughter, has already cast her ballot in Montana, Walz has said. On Sunday during a stop in Saginaw, Michigan, the governor said that Hope, who lives in Bozeman most of the time but is often out campaigning with him, had recently returned to the state to cast a vote for Democratic incumbent Jon Tester in that critical Senate race.
