Nearly a week after verbal stumbles in the only vice presidential debate, Democrat Tim Walz used his debut campaign appearance on a Sunday news show to try to fend off criticism of his stand on abortion rights and 91裸聊视频渙wn up91裸聊视频� to past misstatements.
The interview on Fox News Sunday reflected a broader media blitz by presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate as the Democrats seek to garner public attention in the final 30 days of the campaign against Republicans Donald Trump and JD Vance.
Harris has taped an interview with CBS91裸聊视频� 60 Minutes that will air Monday night. She is booked Tuesday on Howard Stern91裸聊视频檚 satellite radio show, ABC91裸聊视频檚 The View and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS. Her interview on the podcast Call Her Daddy is scheduled to be released later Sunday. Walz will be on Jimmy Kimmel91裸聊视频檚 ABC show on Monday.
Walz91裸聊视频檚 Fox appearance also touched on the turmoil in the Middle East, with anchor Shannon Bream pressing the Minnesota governor on whether Israel has a right to preemptively attack Iran91裸聊视频檚 nuclear and oil facilities in response to Tehran91裸聊视频檚 firing of missiles against Israel. It was a question that Walz did not fully answer during his debate this past week with Vance, an Ohio senator.
Walz said Sunday that 91裸聊视频渟pecific operations will be dealt with at the time91裸聊视频� and he spoke of 91裸聊视频渃onsequences for what they do.91裸聊视频�
He said Israel has a right to defend itself and that Harris worked with Israel this past week to repel the Iranian attack. President Joe Biden said last week he would not support an Israeli strike on sites related to Tehran91裸聊视频檚 nuclear program.
Walz defended a law that he signed as governor to ensure abortion protections, saying it 91裸聊视频減uts the decision with the woman and her health care providers.91裸聊视频�
Trump has said he would not sign a national abortion ban into law, and during the interview Sunday, Walz was asked whether he was calling that 91裸聊视频渁 flat-out lie.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淵es 91裸聊视频� of course,91裸聊视频� Walz said.
On the economy, Walz said Harris91裸聊视频� proposals would make life more affordable for the middle class by helping with the construction of 3 million new homes and expanding tax credits for parents. He said tariffs floated by Trump could increase costs by an estimated $4,000 a year on a typical family.
Walz also faced questions in the interview about misstatements pertaining to his military service, drunken driving arrest, infertility treatment for his family and claims to have been in Hong Kong before the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in China.
91裸聊视频淚 will own up when I misspeak,91裸聊视频� Walz said. 91裸聊视频淚 will own up when I make a mistake.91裸聊视频�
He said he believes voters are more concerned by the fact that Vance could not acknowledge during their debate that Trump lost the 2020 election to Biden and that there could be restrictions on the infertility treatment of intrauterine insemination that his wife, Gwen, received.
91裸聊视频淚 think they91裸聊视频檙e probably far more concerned with that than my wife and I used IUI to have our child and that Donald Trump would restrict that,91裸聊视频� Walz said. 91裸聊视频淪o I think folks know who I am.91裸聊视频�
Bream noted that Trump has come out in support of fertility treatments, even as he has said that abortion questions should be decided by states.
