Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently addressed President Joe Biden's remarks that seemed to refer to supporters of former President Donald Trump as 'garbage.' Walz clarified that Biden was specifically responding to the divisive rhetoric used by speakers at Trump's recent rally in New York.
During an interview, Walz emphasized that Biden's comments were a reaction to the inflammatory language used at the rally, particularly a speaker's derogatory reference to Puerto Rico. Walz defended Biden's response as a reflection of the frustration with Trump's divisive rhetoric and stated that it did not undermine Vice President Kamala Harris' commitment to governing on behalf of all Americans.
Walz highlighted Harris' recent remarks in Washington, D.C., emphasizing that she is the Democratic nominee at the top of the ticket. He urged voters to focus on Harris' message of unity and inclusivity, reiterating that the goal is to bring all individuals together regardless of political affiliations.
Addressing concerns about Biden's role on the campaign trail and reports of a diminished presence due to recent gaffes, Walz underscored the distinction between Biden as the current president and Harris as the Democratic nominee. He expressed confidence in Biden's leadership and stated that Biden is fulfilling his responsibilities as the nation's leader.
In conclusion, Walz emphasized the importance of ending divisive rhetoric and promoting unity in the political discourse. He reiterated the commitment of the Democratic ticket to inclusivity and collaboration, urging a focus on the overarching message of unity and progress.
