Minnesota Governor Tim Walz expressed confidence in the justice system as the jury in the former president's New York hush money trial began deliberations this week. When asked about his concerns regarding a potential acquittal or a hung jury, Governor Walz emphasized his trust in the judicial process, stating that he would respect whatever verdict the jurors reach.
Walz drew parallels to the election, highlighting the importance of accepting the outcome and respecting the democratic process. He underscored the need to defeat political opponents through the ballot box rather than through legal challenges.
Addressing the contrasting activities of the former president and President Joe Biden, Walz emphasized Biden's focus on honoring service members on Memorial Day. He criticized the former president for his alleged derogatory remarks about military personnel and his treatment of Senator John McCain.
Despite his confidence in the justice system, Governor Walz reiterated his commitment to defeating his political opponents through democratic means. He emphasized the significance of upholding democratic values and expressed his belief in the power of the electorate to bring about change.
