Tim Walz is campaigning alone for the first time.

On August 13th, Tim Walz made his first solo appearance in Los Angeles as the US Vice Presidential candidate.

In a speech to unions in Los Angeles, Tim Walz pledged to join the government to support workers. He stated, "Vice President Kamala Harris and I both know who built this country. Nurses, teachers, and state and local government employees are the ones who built this nation. That's not just empty talk, it's the truth: When unions are strong, America is strong." The 60-year-old governor of Minnesota has garnered significant national attention since Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as her running mate. With this decision, the Democratic Party hopes to solidify support among working-class white men – a key voting bloc that could help the party win in battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Last week, Walz and Harris visited all three states, along with Arizona and Nevada, as part of a joint campaign. Observers note that Tim Walz has created a stark contrast to his Republican rivals, presidential candidate Donald Trump and vice presidential candidate JD Vance.

Tim Walz, a former public school teacher, football coach, and veteran, has a demeanor that many Americans associate with the image of "the ideal father." Workers present at his August 13th campaign rally in Los Angeles also described him as "approachable," "very down-to-earth," and "someone who once held a social position like ours."
