Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz kicked off his debate against Ohio Sen. JD Vance on shaky footing when he was first asked about his foreign policy platform in the Middle East.
“Governor Walz, if you were the final voice in the Situation Room, would you support or oppose a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran?” CBS’ Margaret Brennan asked Walz on Tuesday evening in New York City during the CBS News Vice Presidential Debate.
Walz thanked the moderators for hosting him before delivering a halting and stammering answer while calling for “steady leadership.”

But the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute fundamental necessity for the United States to have to steady leadership there.
