The former president’s estranged niece said that her uncle is worried about Walz entering the 2024 race.
Mary Trump, estranged niece of former President Donald Trump, said her uncle is „terrified“ of Vice President Kamala Harris‘ newly selected running mate.
Harris, who on Tuesday became the official Democratic nominee for president, has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to appear next to her name on the ballot in November. The 60-year-old governor in his second term has gained recognition for being a progressive leader who still garners supports from rural and conservative populations.
Walz also recently rose in popularity after becoming the first Democrat to label Trump and his vice presidential candidate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, as being „weird“, a term that Harris‘ campaign has since latched onto as its go-to attack against Republicans. According to Mary Trump, who wrote about Walz in her Substack blog on Tuesday, the Minnesota governor also is the opposite of her uncle’s „weirdness.“
„Tim Walz is a normal American who cares about helping other Americans“, Mary Trump wrote, highlighting the bill Walz signed in 2023 to provide free school meals for Minnesota students.
