Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), went against the U.S. Constitution again this week when he said that the Electoral College “needs to go” and that the country should have a national vote instead.
Two days ago, Walz spoke at a dinner at Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) private home in Sacramento. There, Walz complained about the way the Founding Fathers set up the process for choosing the president of the United States.
He told the crowd, “I think we all know the Electoral College needs to go. But we don’t live in that world. In other words, we need to win Beaver County, PA. We need to be able to beat them in York, Pennsylvania. We need to win in western Wisconsin. We need to win in Reno, Nevada.”
Walz is right when he says that the Electoral College pushes presidential and vice presidential candidates to focus on less crowded parts of the country in order to win. Without the Electoral College, his home state of Minnesota, which has almost 3.7 million registered voters, would not have much of an effect on the outcome of an election with 120 to 150 million votes cast across the country.
But Walz told his fans in California that he supports the national popular vote and that “we need a national popular vote.”
A tweet from the War Room said “Is Tampon Tim laying the grounds to say that President Trump’s win was not real?”
After his recent comment, the Harris-Walz team worked quickly to fix Walz’s latest mistake which seemed to be against the Constitution.
“Governor Walz thinks that every vote counts in the Electoral College, and he is proud to be working to get support for the Harris-Walz ticket across the country and in battleground states,” a spokesman for Walz told the New York Times.
He told a group of strong followers that the campaign is set up to win 270 electoral votes. He thanked them for their support, which helps pay for those efforts.
Walz said last week, “I talk like everyone else talks,” in response to the many mistakes he has made in speech and what seemed like outright lies since he was chosen to run with Harris for president in 2024.
When Walz talked about the Electoral College, the Trump team said that the governor of Minnesota dislikes the U.S. Constitution in general.
A tweet from Trump War Room asked, “Why does Tampon Tim hate our Constitution so much?” Walz is known as “Tampon Tim” because he made it legal for Minnesota public schools to have men’s bathrooms with feminine hygiene products.
“He does not like the First Amendment. He doesn’t like the Supreme Court. He does not like the Electoral College. But he really loves China!”
