Walz says he 'can't wait' to debate JD Vance: 'These guys are creepy'

Gov. Walz came out hard against former President Donald Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance during his first campaign rally speech as Harris' vice presidential pick.

"Donald Trump’s not fighting for you or your family," Walz said. He never sat at that kitchen table, like the one I grew up at, wondering how we were going to pay the bills. He sat at his country club in Mar a Lago wondering how he can cut taxes for his rich friends," Walz added.

Calling out the Republican ticket, Walz added, "These guys are creepy. And yeah, it's just weird as hell."
