Donald Trump<\/strong>\u2019s campaign did not waste any time on Tuesday going after Kamala Harris<\/strong>\u2019s newly announced<\/a> running mate, Minnesota governor Tim Walz.<\/strong> Though perhaps an extra beat or two might have given the team time to come up with a line of attack stronger than the one about letting convicted felons vote\u2014which is a bit odd given the guy at the top of the GOP ticket!<\/p>\n Yes, in a statement released shortly after the Walz news was official, a spokesperson for Trump\u2019s campaign condemned the governor for \u201cembracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote.\u201d\u00a0As a quick reminder, Donald Trump was found guilty<\/a> of 34 felony counts last May, making him\u2014you guessed it\u2014a convicted felon.<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Interestingly, unless he is literally in prison at the time of the November election, Trump will be allowed<\/a> to vote, because voting laws in Florida, where he resides, permit residents convicted of crimes in other states to vote if the state where they were convicted allows them to do so. Since New York, where Trump was convicted, lets anyone vote as long as they\u2019re not serving a prison sentence, Trump may cast his ballot his fall.<\/p>\n In addition to the self-own about voting, Trump\u2019s campaign also went after Walz for \u201cproposing his own carbon-free agenda\u201d and \u201csuggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars,\u201d all of which Team Trump claims is part of a plot by the governor to \u201creshape Minnesota in the image of\u201d California, which, in Republican circles, is a dirty word. The campaign also referenced a 2017 quote by Walz in which he said<\/a> his state\u2019s rural areas are comprised of \u201cmostly rocks and cows.\u201d (It seems unlikely that Trump, who grew up in New York and was a millionaire by the age of eight<\/a> thanks to his dad\u2019s real estate empire, will be able to make the case that he understands rural America better than the Nebraska-born Walz, but he\u2019s quite obviously going to try!)<\/p>\n For his part, Walz appears<\/a> to have received the nod from Harris due to policies that will likely appeal to progressive and working-class voters, though he may have sealed the deal by going on TV and calling out MAGA Republicans for being total weirdos<\/a>. Last month, he told<\/a> CNN, of Trump: \u201cListen to the guy. He\u2019s talking about Hannibal Lecter and shocking sharks and just whatever crazy thing pops into his mind.\u2026 That is weird behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nX content<\/h4>\n
