LA CROSSE, Wis. — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told a Wisconsin audience Monday that if he and Vice President Kamala Harris defeat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, voters will “never have to see this man on TV again and watch have to listen to him. .”
“Just tell yourself how great it’s going to be. We’ll get this done. We’ll win, and when that thing is done, we’ll never have to see this guy on TV and listen to him again,” Walz said, referring to Trump .
Both vice presidential candidates spent part of the final day before the election campaigning in Wisconsin, an indication of how critical the votes are in the deadlocked race.
In La Crosse, Walz emphasized that the future of American democracy is at stake.
“The issue is now upon us, folks. I know there is a lot of anxiety. The decisions in the next 24 to 36 hours will determine not only the next four years, but the generations to come,” Walz said.
He reminded the crowd that their vote could be decisive.
“This thing could literally be won through the state of Wisconsin and it could be won here through La Crosse with the work that we’re doing. That’s how close this thing is going to be, so we’re not taking anything for granted,” Walz said.
A few hours earlier in La Crosse, Sen. J.D. Vance urged the crowd to pray for Walz.
“I don’t think any of you are going to have the kind of day that Tim Walz is having today trying to convince the American people that Kamala Harris can be the President of the United States. That’s hard work. Vans said.
He also hammered on the economy.
“The question for the people of Wisconsin is, are you better off than you were four years ago? And I think most of us would say, ‘Absolutely not.'” Vance said.
After his stops in Wisconsin, Walz headed to Detroit for a meet Monday night, while Vance went to Michigan and Pennslyvania.
