Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz held a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Monday to shore up support just three weeks before the presidential election.
The vice presidential candidate bragged about three unconventional supporters of the Harris-Waltz ticket, warning the crowd about what's at stake if former President Trump retakes the White House.
“The road to the Super Bowl, the road to the Senate majority, and the road to the White House goes straight through the NFC North, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Look, you have Lions fans, Packers fans, and fans. “The Vikings are excited here,” Walz said, referring to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Ivers and himself. “What's even more amazing is that we got Bernie Sanders, Dick Cheney and Taylor Swift on the same ticket.”
Cheney, who was former President George W. Bush's vice president, was vilified by Democrats for her hawkish defense of the Iraq war. But last month, Cheney made the surprising announcement that she would vote for Kamala Harris for president.

Taylor Swift also announced her support for Harris last month, just minutes after the presidential debate between the two candidates.
Walz used his speech in Green Bay on Monday to air a list of complaints about vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance, who he debated with Trump earlier this month.

Trends in what swing county Republican Party chair calls “Little Pennsylvania'' are good: “It's going to be a repeat of '16.''
Walz attacked Trump's mental strength and age, claiming the former commander-in-chief “forgets things.”
“He's a mess. He's an old man, almost 80 years old. He rants and rambles until people get tired of it and leave the meetings,” Walz said.

Walz appealed to men who aren't sure who to vote for.
“I have a message for everyone here: Do you have a woman in your life that you love? Do you have a wife, a daughter, a mother, a friend? Please know that their lives are literally at stake in this election. Let's not forget that,'' Walz said, citing President Trump's appointment of three Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade.
“He's proud of it. He's happy that his daughter Hope has fewer rights than her mother,” Walz said. “That's what he's proud of.”

Walz ended his speech by comparing Harris to an “underdog” and urging the crowd to vote for her.
“By the way, I’m a Vikings fan,” Walz joked. “We are always the underdog.”
