Minnesota Governor Tim Walz joined the Harris campaign's efforts to reach out to Republican voters during an event in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The event took place alongside the city's Republican mayor, who has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
Addressing a crowd of supporters at a coffee shop in the Milwaukee suburbs, Governor Walz expressed gratitude to Mayor Shawn Reilly for his endorsement. Reilly is among a group of Republicans who have thrown their support behind Harris, citing concerns about the threat to democracy posed by former President Donald Trump.
While acknowledging differences between himself and the Republicans endorsing Harris, Governor Walz commended Reilly and others for their dedication to Constitutional values.
During his speech, Governor Walz emphasized the importance of finding common ground and political courage to address the challenges facing Americans. He highlighted the need to prioritize the Constitution, decency, and collaborative problem-solving.
Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris's remarks at the event focused on the dangers Trump poses to America's core values and institutions. This message aligns with the stance taken by the Future Forward PAC, the primary super PAC supporting Harris, which has cautioned against downplaying Trump's anti-democratic rhetoric and actions in the final stages of the campaign.
