“He has a lot of appeal in his folksy demeanour that is very typical of the Midwest idea of leaders. It’s a strong counter to what I think the Republican Party is trying to do, which is label Democrats, especially Harris, as coastal elite liberals,” he said.
“Walz had a job to introduce himself to the country and to make (voters) feel at ease. To convince them that he’s one of them, that he understands what families are going through. To make them feel heard and understood. He passed the test.”
Next, all eyes will be on the presidential debate on Sep 10 in Philadelphia, where Harris will face off 78-year-old Trump for the first time.
It could be the only head-to-head between the two nominees. Trump has proposed two more debates but the Harris campaign has yet to respond, US new outlets reported.
Walz will debate Trump’s running mate JD Vance on Oct 1 in New York City.
