Tim Walz Over Tesla Stock Comments Washington, D.C. – White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a sharp response to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) after he openly mocked Tesla’s declining stock prices. During a White House press briefing, Leavitt dismissed Walz’s remarks, calling them a reflection of his “sad existence” following his political loss. The exchange came when a reporter asked Leavitt about Walz’s comment, in which he admitted to checking Tesla’s stock “to give [himself] a little boost during the day.” The Minnesota governor’s statement was widely seen as a dig at Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has been a vocal supporter of conservative policies and free speech on social media. Leavitt did not hold back in her response. “I think that's quite sad,” she said. “But I think Governor Walz, unfortunately, is living a sad existence after his devastating defeat on Novemb...

  Sen. JD Vance Big Rapids, MI — During a Trump-Vance 2024 campaign rally in Big Rapids, Michigan, GOP Vice Presidential Nominee Senator JD Vance (R-OH) launched a scathing attack on Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), taking aim at Walz's comments about how his children were conceived and his military service record. Vance opened his critique by questioning Walz's honesty, calling his recent remarks "the weirdest thing I've ever seen." Walz, who has previously come under fire for his handling of civil unrest in Minneapolis, was accused by Vance of fabricating details about his personal life for political gain. "He lies about everything, of course. He calls me weird, but then he lies about how his kids were conceived—who does that?" Vance asked the crowd, clearly incredulous.

Byron Donalds CHICAGO, IL — In a pointed critique during a Trump-Vance 2024 Campaign press briefing at the Trump Tower Hotel in Chicago on Tuesday, Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) took aim at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) for his delayed response to the riots that erupted in Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd in 2020. Rep. Donalds did not hold back as he addressed the press, highlighting what he described as a significant failure in leadership by Gov. Walz during the critical days of unrest. "Governor Walz waited four days to call the National Guard," Donalds stated. "He watched the city of Minneapolis burn, and quite frankly, what was burning wasn't the upper-class neighborhoods of Minneapolis; it wasn't the suburbs. It was poor areas of Minneapolis, mostly inhabited by black and Hispanic people." Donald's remarks underscored his view that Gov. Walz's inaction disproportionately affected minority communities, which bore the brun...

During a press conference, DeSantis didn't hold back, recounting the tumultuous events of the 2020 BLM riots in Minneapolis and criticizing both Harris and Walz for their roles in what he described as the "gutting" of the city. "Let's not forget the BLM riots of 2020 in Minneapolis," DeSantis began. "Those were riots that Kamala Harris supported, even raising money to bail out the rioters with the Minnesota bail fund. And what did Governor Tim Walz do? He sat back and let the city burn. The city of Minneapolis has been gutted as a result of those riots, and we would never allow that to happen in the state of Florida." DeSantis drew sharp contrasts between his governance in Florida and what he described as th...
