Trump and Walz Clash Over Minneapolis Response

Former President Donald Trump and running mate JD Vance have been criticizing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's response to the George Floyd protests. However, Trump previously praised Walz's handling in a 2020 phone call. The issue has gained new significance now that Walz is Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate.

Former President Donald Trump and running mate JD Vance have been vocal critics of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's approach to handling the protests that followed George Floyd's murder.

A 2020 phone call, obtained by the Associated Press, reveals that Trump had commended Walz's response at the time, describing Minnesota's intervention as 'incredible' and praising their swift action.

This revelation has resurfaced as Walz, now running alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, faces heightened scrutiny over his leadership during the Minneapolis unrest.
