The National Rifle Association (NRA) is being mocked on X, formerly Twitter, after it posted a video of Democratic vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz with a shotgun on Tuesday. The video, accompanied by circus music, showed the Minnesota governor in a field with a gun, which the organization said he was attempting to load.
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.
"I’m a longtime teacher and in my classroom we believe in facts, so here are a few," said the wife of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz.
In September and October 2024, ahead of the 2024 presidential election, a viral video purportedly showed Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz dancing in a leather crop top, leather pants and a red cowboy hat to "Texas Hold 'em," a hit song by Beyoncé.
In the home stretch of the 2024 presidential election, both candidates are trying to reach as many swing-state voters as possible—and Gwen Walz, wife of vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz, pitched in this week with a series of events in Pennsylvania.
Former President Bill Clinton will join Gov. Tim Walz for a campaign rally in Durham, North Carolina around 3:00 pm.
Another vice presidential hopeful is visiting the Triad, and he’ll be joined by a celebrated artist and activist. A week after Senator JD Vance held a townhall in Greensboro, Governor Tim Walz will make a stop in Winston-Salem for an event marking the start of early voting in North Carolina.
North Carolina’s status as a swing state means frequent presidential campaign visits. On Thursday, Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz travels to Durham. Drivers should give themselves extra time to get to their destinations today.
The Tar Heel State has become a battleground with both campaigns working to win over voters.
Walz talked about his semiautomatic shotgun, a Beretta A-400, mentioned he liked the more forgiving recoil on his shoulders, and then — flipping up the shotgun, shells removed — walked along the tall grass back to the farmsite where he sat on a pick-up, ate venison sticks and talked hunting dogs.
This is Gov. Tim Walz’s third campaign trip to NC, and this time he will be joined by former President Bill Clinton.
