Walz launches 5-state fundraising blitz in LA, warns Trump will wage 'war' on working people
Kicking off a five-state fundraising swing, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz warned a second administration under Donald Trump would wage “war” on working people while threatening Medicare and Social Security
LOS ANGELES (AP) — In his first solo appearance as the Democratic vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz warned cheering union members Tuesday that Donald Trump would wage war on working people and threaten Medicare and Social Security as he kicked off a five-state fundraising swing.
Speaking in a cavernous, dimly lit ballroom to thousands of members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees — many dressed in green union T-shirts, and waving Harris-Walz placards — Walz said he and Vice President Kamala Harris want to spread collective bargaining and other worker protections to “every state in the union.”
The 1.4-million-member union has endorsed Harris.
"When unions are strong, America is strong," Walz, a former school teacher and union member, said.
