Tim Walz has taken on a leveled-up approach in a race to the finish of the 2024 election, after a more cautious and buttoned-up start as Kamala Harris’ running mate.

In the weeks following the vice presidential debate, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has been sounding more like the aggressive campaigner who got the role than the buttoned-up figure he’s cut since joining the ticket.

Dressed in khakis and a navy Harris-Walz sweatshirt Monday, Walz delivered some of his sharpest attacks yet against former President Donald Trump. Walz appeared more natural in his latest appearances on the trail, including in his signature flannel in rural Pennsylvania, after shedding the blue sport coat and white collared shirt he’s favored for the last few months.

He’s also getting back on the TV circuit, with appearances coming up on “The View” and “The Daily Show,” according to a campaign official, after Walz went viral pre-running mate selection with his labeling of the GOP ticket as “weird” in a cable news interview.

    after Walz went viral pre-running mate selection with his labeling of the GOP ticket as “weird” in a cable news interview.

    Insane that this election (and the future of the republic) might end up being saved by one word said by one dude who wasn’t even in the running at the time. And the word is simply, “weird.”

    After all of the insane shit we have seen and heard the GOP do and say, a generic white dude that looks like your dad calling them “weird” was what flipped the momentum in the Democrats’ favor.

    I just can’t with this timeline
