Harrisās VP pick emphasizes his labor background at LA event and says Trump and Vance āwaged war on workersā
Tim Walz held his first solo campaign event since being selected as Kamala Harrisās vice-presidential nominee on Tuesday, rallying union members in Los Angeles and denouncing Donald Trumpās record on labor rights.
The Minnesota governorās appearance, at an event hosted by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, was the first in a five-state fundraising campaign as Walz ramps up support for the still-young Democratic ticket.
Speaking to thousands of union members in a darkened auditorium, Walz said he and Harris will support workers by bringing collective bargaining and other protections to āevery state in the unionā. The 1.4-million-member union has endorsed Harris.
āWe know exactly who built this country,ā Walz said. āPeople in this room built the middle class.ā
Knee deep in the hoopla.
(Before you downvote, itās a song reference and Iām pro-Walz, not some dig at the workers who built our countries).
