Tim Walz's New Campaign Approach: More Aggressive, Less Formal

USAFri Oct 18 2024
Campaigning isn't always about being buttoned-up and formal. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is learning this firsthand as he hits the campaign trail again, this time with a more casual and aggressive approach. Instead of the usual blue sport coat and white collared shirt, Walz has been seen in khakis and a navy sweatshirt with his name and Kamala Harris's together. This change in attire reflects a change in attitude. He's more relaxed, more himself, and ready to mix it up on TV shows like "The View" and "The Daily Show. " Walz has been missing from TV since becoming the Democratic vice presidential nominee. But now, he’s back, appearing on Fox News and directly speaking to undecided voters. His campaign has started calling this a "more aggressive" strategy, and it's clear he's ready to take on Donald Trump head-on. Walz even went as far as to say that Trump once suggested using the army against people who disagree with him. Walz sees this as a chance to beat Trump and put him behind us. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is creating some distance from President Joe Biden. The White House and Harris's team have been talking about how she can do this while still staying loyal to Biden. This came up in Biden’s comments, saying Harris would "cut her own path. " Harris herself said that her presidency wouldn’t just be a continuation of Biden’s. She wants to bring fresh ideas and experiences to the table. Trump’s recent comments about the January 6 rioters are also raising eyebrows. He used "we" to talk about the rioters, showing support for them. This has people questioning his views and his extreme stance on the issue. It’s clear that pronouns can be powerful, and Trump is taking a risk by siding with the rioters.
