“GOP melts down after Walz calls Trump and Vance weirdness ‘weird,’” reported the Star-Tribuine on July 29, of Walz’ comments regarding former President Donald Trump’s VP pick, J.D. Vance.
“In Minnesota, we’re cutting poverty and strengthening families with our Child Tax Credit,” Walz posted to social media platform “X” on August 2. “You’d think JD Vance would be eager to do the same nationally.
