This latest incident comes after Republican Sen. J.D. Vance criticized Walz during their vice-presidential debate, further fueling conservative criticisms of Walz’s role as Kamala Harris’s running mate. For now, it seems Walz’s energetic performance has only added to the growing skepticism about his suitability for the national stage.
