Minnesota Governor Tim Walz held a rally in his native Nebraska, drawing a crowd of 4,500 supporters, as part of his vice-presidential campaign with Kamala Harris. Walz emphasized his Nebraska roots and libertarian values, appealing to local voters by criticizing government overreach in personal matters like healthcare and education. He highlighted his background and service in the Nebraska National Guard, resonating with Nebraskan values of community and self-reliance. The rally aimed to win over Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, a swing region that voted for Biden in 2020. Walz's record as a pragmatic and moderate Blue Dog Democrat, often mislabeled as a progressive, was showcased as a strength to unite different factions of the Democratic Party. As Walz and Harris campaign across the country, they hope to maintain the momentum and enthusiasm seen at the Nebraska rally.
