Trump Campaign Adviser Warns Tim Walz Will Be ‘An Absolute Killer’ On Debate Stage

Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller stated Tuesday that Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance should not “underestimate” Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on the debate stage.

Walz and Vance are set to face-off during Tuesday night’s first and only vice presidential debate ahead of the 2024 election, where Miller expects the Minnesota governor to show his skills in debating. The campaign adviser argued Walz presents himself differently on the campaign trail than he does during debates, where he is instead able to be a skilled politician.

“Two things can be true at the same time here. Again, the Tim Walz that we see on the campaign trail, as he’s bouncing around and dancing and pointing to Kamala Harris and looking kinda goofy, is not the Tim Walz that shows up in debates,” Miller said. “And Kasie, I will tell you, I have watched more debate footage of Tim Walz than anyone should ever be forced to do, but here’s the thing, he’s been in office for two decades. J.D. Vance has been in official office for 2 years. But Tim Walz has been in office for 2 decades, he’s good, he was in Congress, he’s in his second term as governor in the state of Minnesota, when he shows up and hits that stage, he’s disciplined, he’s on point and he lies through his teeth.”

“And that’s the thing that most people who are tuning in tonight, or many of the people I should say, will not have watched Tim Walz bouncing around on the campaign stage. What they will see is tonight they’ll see Tim Walz for the first time,” Miller continued. “And he will come across very much with an awe-shucks Minnesota persona, but where he’s gonna have an issue is how does he will defend his record, how does he defend Kamala Harris’ record, and to be honest, he has to defend Joe Biden’s record as well.”
