Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has yet to hold a formal press conference, but he appeared in the latest episode of a TikTok series to talk about gutter maintenance.
Democratic vice presidential candidate:Subway ride,“Home Improvement” is a series in which host Kareem Rahm talks to subway riders about random topics. In this episode, they discussed gutters, which Waltz believes are “the most neglected part of homeownership.”
“This is a personal issue for me,” Waltz said. “I've had gutter problems before. They cause wet basements, ice dams, a lot of other issues.”

Waltz also touched on several other gutter-related topics, including wearing a gutter helmet for protection and thinking that well-maintained gutters are more important than a well-kept lawn.
“Gutters are a big thing and I think they're really important,” Waltz said.
Both the KamalaHQ TikTok account and Waltz's account posted in the comments section below the video.
“Gutter helmets. Trust me on this one,” Waltz said.
“America's dad,” Kamala HQ wrote, along with an emoji of a person wearing a cowboy hat, referring to efforts to portray the vice presidential candidate as someone with “down-home charm.”
As of Tuesday afternoon, the video had been viewed more than 42,000 times and had more than 10,000 likes.

Walz, along with running mate Kamala Harris, have been criticized for not giving any formal face-to-face interviews since becoming the running mate earlier this month.
According to Politico, The Harris campaign was reportedly unsure how to use Waltz in the media because “Waltz may not be fully aware of where Harris stands on every issue.”
It was announced that Ms. Harris and Mr. Waltz, who have largely avoided press interviews for weeks, would give a joint interview to CNN on Tuesday.
