Despite family drama, Tim Walz’s mother supports her son for VP

Darlene Walz, the mother of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, supports her son’s bid for vice president despite family divisions. Darlene believes her son will be in the White House, with confidence in his abilities. The divisions in the family became public last week when Tim’s older brother, Jeff, expressed opposition to his ideology on social media, even considering endorsing Donald Trump. Jeff had previously donated to the Trump campaign in 2016. A photo circulating showing people in “Nebraska Walz’s for Trump” shirts was dismissed by the Harris-Walz campaign as distant cousins, not recognized by Tim Walz or his team. Trump highlighted the photo as an endorsement, but the campaign viewed it as a light-hearted situation. Governor Walz has addressed family division in his campaign speeches, advocating for unity despite political differences. While not focusing on family matters, Walz is open to addressing them, including on platforms like Fox News. He is prepared to reach out to his extended family, even if it means losing support from some of his cousins in deep red parts of Nebraska. Overall, the family divisions have not deterred Walz from his campaign, and he aims to bring people together regardless of political beliefs.
