Walz, family members vote early in Minnesota
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, and his family voted early Wednesday morning, filling out their ballots in St. Paul less than two weeks before Election Day.
Walz, Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz and their 18-year-old son, Gus, went to the Ramsey County election office to vote.
“It’s Gus’s first time, he’s pretty excited about it,” Walz told an election worker when he checked in. Another election worker then announced a “first-time voter,” and others in the room cheered.
The vice presidential nominee and his son high-fived after casting their votes in their respective machines.
Tim Walz told reporters who were with him in Minnesota that he voted for Vice President Harris, while not mentioning himself as her running mate.
The governor then answered questions about recent interviews that include former White House chief of staff John Kelly saying former President Trump fits a "fascist" definition and that Trump said while in office he wanted the military to be like “Hitler’s generals.”
“If there was ever a red line, he has stepped across it. And so I appreciate Gen. Kelly coming out at this moment,” Walz said.
Walz then encouraged voters to read the Kelly interview in The New York Times and another in The Atlantic.
Harris on Wednesday also responded to the interviews, calling her rival “increasingly unhinged.”
