Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) said Monday on ABC's “The View” that former President Donald Trump's appearance at a Pennsylvania McDonald's franchise prompted McDonald's employees to He said it was pandering to and disrespecting.
Co-host Alyssa Farrah Griffin said, “What would you say to Americans who feel like they're struggling?”
“Vice President Harris has made it clear that whether she focuses on homeownership or not, that is a top priority, and we know these proposals will work,” Walz said. Ta. We can do that at the Minnesota level by building 3 million more homes with down payment assistance. Currently, the number of housing units in Minneapolis has increased by 12% and rents have decreased by 4% in the last year. This could be effective at the national level. ”
He added: “Donald Trump has kept his promises in his first term, so it's important for us to talk about what we're going to do next.” He cut taxes for the wealthiest people. He increased the debt to numbers we have never seen. This time, he's going after things like Social Security and Medicare, calling them pyramid schemes that don't work. So I think the message needs to get across to people. Vice President Harris and I grew up middle class, so I think that's connected. we understand that. She actually worked at McDonald's. She didn't pander to and disrespect McDonald's employees by standing there in a red tie and taking pictures. His policies undermine the very people who worked at McDonald's, including homeownership, health care, reproductive rights, and the cost of products. So there's still a lot of work to be done, but let's be clear: What Donald Trump is proposing won't do anything for the middle class. ”
