Walz asserts that Trump is “more unfit” and “more deranged” now than he was during his initial campaign in 2016.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz reinforced the Harris campaign’s focus on highlighting Donald Trump’s age and questioning his fitness for office during a rally in Papillion, Nebraska, on Saturday, asserting that the former president is “not up to this anymore.”
Walz claimed that Trump is “more unfit” and “more deranged” now than during his initial presidential run in 2016. He suggested that the criminal charges Trump faces make him more “desperate” to prioritize his own interests.
“The Donald Trump of 2016 is not the Donald Trump running now. He is far more unfit than he was in 2016. He’s more deranged and more desperate to avoid prison than he was back then,” said the Democratic vice presidential nominee.
Walz also raised concerns about Trump’s stamina for the presidency, citing a Politico report stating that Trump’s campaign declined to participate in a podcast interview because he was “exhausted.”
“He’s nearly 80 years old. He’s out there rambling and moving around—let’s cut him some slack. Look, he’s not up to this anymore, folks; he’s just not,” he remarked.
Born in Nebraska, Walz emphasized the importance of the Electoral College vote from the state’s 2nd Congressional District, which Democrats hope to secure as Omaha’s “blue dot.”
“This blue dot represents democracy. It symbolizes decency. It represents a woman’s right to make her own choices. It’s much more than just a pin or politics; it’s about who we are as a people,” he stated.
