Tim Walz Proved That JD Vance Should’ve Stayed On His Couch

October 1, 2024, Salt Lake City - Utah Democratic Party Chair Diane Lewis released the following statement today:

“Tonight, JD Vance showed his weird obsession with our personal lives. While he scrambled to make up for Donald Trump’s disastrous debate performance, he attacked many of the freedoms Americans hold dear - including the freedom to make decisions about our bodies, and the freedom to elect our leaders in fair and free elections. 

Tim Walz was the clear winner of tonight’s debate, as he showed that he wants to make life better for American families. From working as a public school teacher and football coach to his pro-family policy accomplishments as Governor of Minnesota, Walz has a dedication to public service that stands in stark contrast to JD Vance’s mania for putting Donald Trump back in power. Unlike the Project 2025 Agenda that Vance and Trump are promoting, the Harris-Walz Agenda will reduce costs for families and protect their lives from government interference.

I can confidently say that Tim Walz is trustworthy enough to be one heartbeat away from the Oval Office. I wouldn’t trust JD Vance with my couch, much less the power of the Vice-Presidency.”
