Minnesota Governor Tim Walz received criticism from The Washington Post for inaccurately stating that GOP Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance has never voted on a pro-worker bill. The Post clarified that Vance had supported at least two pro-worker measures, including the Railway Safety Act and the Radiation Exposure Compensation Reauthorization Act. Meanwhile, Vance defended Donald Trump's controversial remarks about firing striking workers, arguing that Trump was not referring to autoworkers but employees at Twitter, despite legal implications for such threats. At a union convention in Los Angeles, Walz emphasized his commitment to labor rights and criticized Trump’s economic policies as favoring billionaires. He also addressed attacks on his military service record by Vance, asserting pride in his military background and service. Walz's focus on union support aims to solidify his candidacy as a pro-worker ally leading up to the election.
