‘We know who built this country’: Walz courts union workers in first solo event

Harris’s VP pick emphasizes his labor background at LA event and says Trump and Vance ‘waged war on workers’

Tim Walz held his first solo campaign event since being selected as Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential nominee on Tuesday, rallying union members in Los Angeles and denouncing Donald Trump’s record on labor rights.

The Minnesota governor’s appearance, at an event hosted by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, was the first in a five-state fundraising campaign as Walz ramps up support for the still-young Democratic ticket.
