In the final weeks of the campaign, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has been hitting the media circuit and showing why he was the perfect pick. He’s helping Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign build its big-tent ticket while also not comprising progressive values.
Appearing on “The Daily Show” Monday, he discussed campaigning in swing states and talking to Republicans disillusioned by Donald Trump but who “haven’t crossed over before.”
“These are folks that want to find a reason to not vote for Donald Trump,” he said. “We need to give them that.”
Drawing on his years of experience as a high school teacher, Walz reflected on the importance of understanding voters’ concerns.
“I oftentimes talk about this as a teacher,” Walz continued. “You know, the Maslow's hierarchy … you got to have a lot of time on your hands and money to self-actualize,” he said. “When they say they’re worried about the economy, believe them. They are worried about the economy. Or they’re struggling. You can’t tell them, “Well, inflation is down. Interest rates are coming down.’ They need to see the tangible things that’ll make a difference.”
