    In Flint, Walz predicts women will send a message to Donald Trump on Tuesday

    Madoc Meredith Posted on

    FLINT – Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz made a direct appeal to men to support Vice President Kamala Harris during a campaign event in Flint on Friday, but said he believes women’s support will get her campaign over the finish line and make her the next president of the United States will make states.

    Polls show there is a massive and potentially growing gender gap in Tuesday’s presidential election. Republican Donald Trump leads by 6 percentage points or more among male voters, but trails by double digits among female voters.

    “Think about the women you love,” Walz, who is running for vice president, told men who were among about 250 supporters gathered in a hangar at Bishop International Airport in Flint. With Trump appointees to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the Roe v. Wade precedent that guaranteed abortion rights for decades, and several states now imposing strict abortion bans, “their lives are literally at stake when it comes to this “How this election goes.”

    Four days before Election Day, “Kamala Harris and I … feel that women in this country, no matter their age or party, are going to send a loud and clear message to Donald Trump,” Walz said.

    Walz, a former congressman, has been governor of Minnesota since 2019. The military veteran and former high school teacher and assistant football coach began his day in Michigan in Detroit and spoke for about 20 minutes in Flint before heading to a final Friday event in Traverse City.

    Trump campaign spokeswoman Victoria LaCivita said Walz thinks women and other voters are foolish if he thinks they will support four more years of a Biden-Harris administration marked by high inflation and large numbers of migrants without Papers that cross the border between Mexico and the USA.

    “That’s why on November 5, Michiganders will kick both Walz and Kamala to the curb if they re-elect President Donald J. Trump,” LaCivita said in an emailed statement.

    Colleen Joseph of Flint, a retired nurse, said she agrees with political observers who believe polls may be underestimating the support Harris has among women.

    Some Harris voters may be afraid to admit it, but if they “get behind the scenes, they will vote for Kamala Harris,” Joseph said while waiting in line for the waltz event in Flint, adding, she is confident that a… Democratic victory on Tuesday.

    Sharlette Kate, of Flint, said she attended the Harris rally at the Dort Financial Center in Flint on Oct. 4 but was excited to see Walz for the first time on Friday.

    Kate, who has already voted, said she is confident but is knocking on doors and “calling everyone I know just to make sure we get in the election.” She said she thinks “the ground game will be very strong.” , very, very important.”

    Earlier Friday in Detroit, Walz opened a panel with black business leaders at the downtown Westin Book Cadillac by heaping praise on Michigan’s largest city.

    He shared that he drove to Belle Isle that morning, called it “beautiful” and then said that Minnesota Vikings fans are “completely happy with the Lions’ success.”

    Walz used the conversation as a sort of temperature check for the campaign among local people before heading to the UAW Region 1A union hall in Taylor, where he cheered on a small crowd of union supporters who have endorsed Harris.

    “The momentum is on our side. We still have four days. We don’t take anything for granted,” he said. “This game is a draw. There’s two minutes left, guys. The good news is: We have the ball.” And he called Harris “the best quarterback in the league” while her GOP rival, Walz said, fumbled.

    “And look, you saw it. You saw it and it happened again today. “Donald Trump continues to evolve into a place of hate and division that we don’t want to go to,” Walz said.
