Walz attends Michigan-Minnesota college football game before final prep for Tuesday's debate
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to attend a football game between the University of Michigan and University of Minnesota
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Tim Walz’s dual role as Minnesota’s governor and Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate was on full display Saturday as he attended a tailgate with Michigan football fans before going on the field to meet with Minnesota’s coach.
Walz visited Ann Arbor to watch the University of Michigan and University of Minnesota teams play in what is expected to be his final major campaign appearance before Tuesday's vice presidential debate.
Earlier in the day, Walz was greeted at the airport by University of Michigan students, who had arrived in a bus bearing a banner that read “Put Me In, Coach!” Michigan won the game against Walz's home state school.
Walz has leaned into his background as a football coach and teacher while on the campaign trail as the Democrats look to drum up enthusiasm among young voters, with Walz having made multiple recent visits to university campuses.
