Tim Walz has taken on a leveled-up approach in a race to the finish of the 2024 election, after a more cautious and buttoned-up start as Kamala Harris’ running mate.

In the weeks following the vice presidential debate, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has been sounding more like the aggressive campaigner who got the role than the buttoned-up figure he’s cut since joining the ticket.

Dressed in khakis and a navy Harris-Walz sweatshirt Monday, Walz delivered some of his sharpest attacks yet against former President Donald Trump. Walz appeared more natural in his latest appearances on the trail, including in his signature flannel in rural Pennsylvania, after shedding the blue sport coat and white collared shirt he’s favored for the last few months.

He’s also getting back on the TV circuit, with appearances coming up on “The View” and “The Daily Show,” according to a campaign official, after Walz went viral pre-running mate selection with his labeling of the GOP ticket as “weird” in a cable news interview.

    This feels like one of those games where the QB crushed it in the first half, and just completely fell apart during the second half. Now its up to the star running back to make it happen while the QB is still blowing it.

        Your trolling says more about you than it does me. I advocated to swap the candidate for literally months because Biden was an absolute TRAINWRECK of a candidate. There was about a 0% chance of Biden winning this election, and if I recall correctly, you defended keeping him as the candidate, in-spite of the incredibly obvious fact that he was losing the election in a dramatic fashion. You defended him to the point of calling any one asking to remove him a trolls, bots, and Russian assets.

        So you weren’t interested in improving the Democrats chances of winning. You were just behaving like an abusive troll. And I called that Biden wouldn’t be the candidate litterally 8 months out. I was right, and literally almost everyone in this forum was wrong.

        And for a few weeks, we had a good thing going with Kamala. But she’s shifted to campaigning with neocon’s and being “pro-buisness”, and accordingly, her polling is dropping off a cliff.

        She needs to shift back to how she campaigned/ policies she had before and up until the convention. IF she doesn’t, she will lose this election.

        But you aren’t here for nuance. You just want to pretend that you are on the right side of anything.

        And just as before, you aren’t interested in figuring out what it would take Kamala to win. You are just here to abuse.
