White House Defends Gov. Walz's Military Service Against Attacks

A general view of the White House in Washington

The White House responded to comments made by Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance regarding Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's military service. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized that Walz's record speaks for itself and highlighted his extensive military background.

Walz enlisted at the young age of 17 to serve his country and dedicated 24 years to the Army National Guard. In addition to his military service, Walz has a background as a high school teacher and coach, hailing from a small town in the Midwest. Jean-Pierre refrained from engaging in specific attacks, directing inquiries to the campaign and pointing to Walz's impressive biography as a testament to his character and service.
