Tim Walz to join ABC's 'The View'
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Harris' running mate, will join ABC's "The View" on Monday.
His interview comes after Harris herself appeared on the show as part of a media blitz earlier this month.
Walz recently quipped on Trump's visit to a McDonald's on Sunday as part of his mockery of Harris' past employment there. Walz said he took "full responsibility" for the campaign stop after he once joked he couldn't imagine the former president working a McFlurry machine.
Harris, Cheney to make the case to disaffected Republican voters
Harris is stumping with former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney on Monday in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. The two will hold a moderated conversation in each of the "blue wall" states.
Cheney endorsed Harris in early September, warning Trump posed a threat to democracy after what happened on Jan. 6, 2021.
"Donald Trump was willing to sacrifice our capitol to allow law enforcement officers to be beaten and brutalized in his name and to violate the law and the Constitution in order to seize power for himself," Cheney said at her first joint appearance with Harris earlier this month.
"I don't care if you are a Democrat or a Republican or an independent, that is depravity, and we must never become numb to it," she continued. "Any person who would do these things can never be trusted with power again. We must defeat Donald Trump on Nov. 5."
