Dem’s VP hopeful Walz to attend fundraiser in Denver along five-stop, multi-state tour this week

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, named last week by Vice President Kamala Harris as her running mate, will make Denver a destination this week in advance of the Democratic National Convention. It is part of a multi-stop fundraising trip from coast-to-coast, beginning Tuesday in California, where Walz plans to speak to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees at its Los Angeles convention, according to several media reports. Following the stop in California, Walz will appear at Democratic fundraisers in Denver and Boston, Mass., on Wednesday and then will be off to Newport, R.I., and Southampton, N.Y., for two more fundraisers on Thursday, The Washington Times reports. Republican Donald J. Trump just last week visited Aspen ...

Claims against Walz for ‘stolen valor’ ignite battle between House veterans

By Elizabeth Elkind  | Fox News Controversy over Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s military service record is at the heart of Capitol Hill’s latest political firestorm, with veterans on both sides of the aisle chiming in on the new Democratic vice presidential candidate. Republicans are accusing Walz of misrepresenting details about his 24-year career in the National Guard — GOP lawmakers who served in the military have attacked him for leaving the National Guard to run for Congress shortly before his unit deployed to Iraq. Democratic veterans in Congress jumped to his defense, pointing out that Walz served past his 20-year retirement eligibility mark and dismissing the GOP attacks as baseless.

While other states were lowering taxes, Dem’s VP candidate Walz hit Minnesotans with tax hikes

By Jeff Mordock | The Washington Times During Tim Walz’s tenure as Minnesota’s governor, he has approved more than $10 billion in tax hikes, imposing new taxes on everything from retail deliveries to workers’ earnings, overseeing one of the most dramatic shifts towards higher taxes in the country. Mr. Walz’s big-spending, high-tax policies have led to an anemic economy in Minnesota, which has lagged behind the rest of the nation in economic growth. Average weekly wages in Minnesota rank among the lowest in the country, and population growth has stalled as high-income households flee the state. The tax-and-spend spree makes Mr. Walz an outlier at a time when governors of both parties are slashing state taxes. It also foreshadows the direction Vice President Kama...

Rep. Boebert: ‘It’s now truly MAGA vs. Marxism’ in presidential race

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice The result of Kamala Harris selecting Tim Walz as her running mate is a drifting of the Democratic Party further left, Rep. Lauren Boebert said Tuesday in a series of posts on Twitter/X. "It’s now truly MAGA vs Marxism," she tweeted in one post. "I know what side I’m on!" Boebert defeated a dozen opponents in her 4th District Republican Party primary election for U.S. representative, positioning as the most conservative choice in the final field of six, which she defeated across the board by about 30%. She held the endorsement of Donald J. Trump. She never shied from her conservative positions. She doesn't on Twitter/X, either. "It’s pretty obvious that the Democrat[ic] Party has now fully morphed into the Hamas Party," she wrote. "The pic...

Who is Harris’ VP candidate Tim Walz? A far Left radical, Trump campaign says

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Where does the selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as vice president place a possible Kamala Harris-Walz presidential administration on the political spectrum? It cements it as a far Left, radical ticket, the most radical in the country's history, several sources in the Donald J. Trump presidential campaign said Tuesday. "From proposing his own carbon-free agenda, to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars, and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda far and wide," Karoline Leavitt, the Trump-Vance campaign press secretary, wrote in a statement. Walz is soft on crime and "loves" China, opposition research by the Republican Party indic...

Report: Kamala Harris names Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her VP running mate

By Paul Steinhauser , Brooke Singman , Chris Pandolfo | Fox News Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee, on Tuesday named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate as she faces off against former President Trump in the 2024 election, according to the Associated Press. The naming of the 60-year-old Walz was not a shocker, as his name was instantly thought to be in contention in the two weeks since Harris succeeded President Biden as the party's standard-bearer. The 60-year-old Walz, a former congressman, is in his second term as governor of Minnesota, a state that Democrats have reliably won in presidential elections for decades but that the Trump campaign has aimed at flipping this cycle.
