Walz ends campaign addressing 'guys in the crowd' on reproductive rights
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz spoke for less than five minutes during his final campaign rally of the 2024 presidential race -- focusing on reproductive rights.
The governor and his wife, Gwen, participated in the campaign's Election Eve festivities on Monday in the pivotal battleground state of Michigan following their blitz through Wisconsin.
"You could probably tell from these rallies, all across the country tonight, this team is running like everything's on the line -- because everything's on the line," Walz said in Detroit.
Addressing the "guys in the crowd" about reproductive rights, Walz said the issue "really underlines the stakes in this election."
"I want you to think about the women in your life that you love," he said. "Their lives are at stake in this election. Donald Trump appointed those Supreme Court justices who repealed Roe v. Wade, and he brags about it."
Vice President Kamala Harris, Walz said, would codify reproductive freedom if a bill came upon her desk as president.
"When Congress passes that bill to restore reproductive freedom, President Harris will sign it into law," Walz said.
"Kamala and I trust women, it's that simple. Now tomorrow, women all across America, of every age, both parties, are going to send a loud and clear message to Donald Trump, whether he likes it or not."
Walz ended his remarks by stressing the historical significance of Tuesday's election.
"There's going to be a day you're going to be sitting in that rocking chair, and you're going to be rocking on that porch," Walz said. "And a little one is going to come home from school and ask, what did you do in the 2024 election, where the American experiment survived, where the rule of law survived, where decency survived?"
Walz added, "And you're going to be able to answer: 'Every damn thing I could'."

Joe Rogan and Elon Musk defend Trump's controversial Liz Cheney comments
On Joe Rogan’s podcast, Elon Musk defended various comments Donald Trump has recently faced backlash for, saying he’s being misunderstood.
The two defended Trump’s recent violent rhetoric against former Rep. Liz Cheney, suggesting she should have a rifle "with nine barrels shooting at her," claiming the former president’s comments have been misconstrued.
"A lot of people reached out to me -- they're like, oh, Trump says he wants to execute Liz Cheney. I'm like, that is utter b---s---. That’s not what he said at all. It's not what he said at all," Musk claimed.
"What he's saying is that, look, if Liz Cheney actually had to fight at the front lines, [she] should think twice about going to war. It's easy to be a warmonger if you don't have to, you know, risk dying at the front lines,” Musk said, despite the fact that the backlash Trump faced was about the violent rhetoric itself.
Cheney, a Republican who was once a rising star in her party but lost reelection largely over her vocal criticism of Trump, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
The two women have appeared together at several events as Harris works to woo disaffected Republican voters.
