Emmer calls Walz 'Kamala's emotional support animal'
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) referred to Vice President Harris's running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as her “emotional support animal” during a rally for former President Trump in North Carolina on Wednesday.
“Why was Tim Walz picked? Well, he's a really glib talker. He's got jazz hands. He can do all the talking. He was supposed to be Kamala’s emotional support animal,” Emmer told Trump supporters in Rocky Mount, N.C., while touching on the vice presidential debate between Walz and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).
“But guess what? JD Vance ended that. Tim Walz has not been the same since, and ever since, Kamala keeps making mistakes,” he added.
Emmer played Walz during debate prep for Vance’s debate against the Minnesota governor. The remarks underscore the increasingly personal and heated tone the race has taken just days before the election.
North Carolina is among a handful of battleground states that will determine who returns to the White House next year. An aggregate of North Carolina surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Trump leading Harris with 49 percent support to about 48 percent.
The Hill has reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.
