During a recent interview, Democratic governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, shared his thoughts on the former president's appearance at the Libertarian Convention and the potential impact of RFK Jr.'s candidacy on the upcoming election.
Walz expressed concern over the dangerous rhetoric coming from RFK Jr., stating that it is unacceptable, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. He suggested that RFK Jr.'s candidacy could potentially hurt President Trump more than President Biden, as Democratic voters and others who have experienced the challenges of the pandemic may find his views troubling.
Walz also highlighted the irony of RFK Jr.'s presence at the Libertarian Convention, noting that his views on issues such as women's reproductive rights and voting rights do not align with libertarian principles of liberty.
When discussing the impact of third-party candidates on the election, Walz emphasized the importance of President Biden's message of progress and improvement in people's lives. He suggested that Biden's focus on the stakes for the United States and the global community could help sway voters towards making a choice that aligns with his vision for the country.
While acknowledging the independent nature of Minnesota voters, Walz underscored the need to address concerns about third-party votes and ensure that the work of governance continues effectively.
Overall, Walz found the events at the Libertarian Convention entertaining, but also highlighted the serious implications of the upcoming election and the need for voters to consider the impact of their choices on the future of the country.
