ST PAUL – Tonight, Minnesota DFL Chair Ken Martin released the following statement after Gov. Walz’s strong VP debate performance, with Walz powerfully communicating the stakes of this election for reproductive freedom, health care, and our democracy, including holding JD Vance accountable for refusing to say whether Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
DFL Chair Ken Martin: “Tonight, the rest of the country saw why their friends from Minnesota can’t stop bragging about Governor Walz. By picking Tim Walz, Vice President Harris showed the country that she wants to surround herself with leaders who have delivered free school meals and paid family leave for working families. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has picked someone that sneers at ‘childless cat ladies’ and supports a national abortion ban with no exceptions for rape and incest. The more Americans learn about Tim Walz, the more they like him, while the more they learn about JD Vance, the more they remember what they don’t like about Donald Trump. Governor Walz’s victory tonight leaves the Harris-Walz ticket well-positioned to gain momentum in Minnesota and across the country.”
