Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, also a vice presidential candidate, delivered a passionate speech in Tucson, Arizona, where he criticized former President Trump for his alleged desire to 'overturn the Constitution' and act as a 'dictator'.
Addressing a crowd in Tucson, Walz emphasized the importance of every vote in the upcoming election, stating, 'Momentum is on our side, but we take nothing for granted. We know in Arizona a vote or two per precinct could be what it takes to win the whole damn race for the country.'
Walz painted a vivid picture of a future scenario where individuals would reflect on their actions during a critical moment in American history. He urged the audience to consider what they would tell future generations about their efforts to prevent a potential threat to democracy.
'Someday you're going to be sitting on that porch. You're going to be in that rocking chair, and a little one is going to come up to you after being in school where they've been studying the 2024 election,' Walz said. 'What did you do to stop that from happening?'
He concluded his speech by encouraging people to make a plan to vote, canvass, and assist others in getting to the polls, emphasizing the collective responsibility to safeguard democracy.
