Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, says that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz just needs to be himself during tonight’s vice presidential debate and show the American people the distinct contrasts between him and Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
“Well, the first thing Tim needs to do, is just be Tim. This is a great friend, he has been an outstanding governor and he’s going to be a great vice president of the United States of America. He cares about everyone. Both his and Vice President (Kamala) Harris’ plans are about lifting everyone up,” Beshear told CNN.
Beshear cited the Harris campaign’s affordable housing plan and middle-class tax cut as examples of how the Democratic ticket is working to uplift all people.
The Kentucky governor also said that viewers would see a “major contrast on policy” between Walz and Vance. He noted that he expects Walz to talk about leading “Minnesota to the lowest unemployment rate ever” and expanding health care, in comparison to Vance, who will have to defend Donald Trump’s record, including the former president’s efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
“This is an opportunity, both to show which ticket is truly there for the American people and which ticket are-are out for themselves,” Beshear said.
