Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz’s story about why he first decided to get involved in political campaigns contradicts public records and statements reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

Bush in 2004, saying that the incident was ultimately what inspired him to get involved in politics, according to the Examiner.

Kamala Harris campaign

The rough start to Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign has been criticized by conservatives and normally supportive mainstream media alike, as they note her unwillingness to talk to reporters, extreme policy proposals, and severe reversals on key policy issues.

The few policy issues she has addressed have either been extremely left-wing or a 180-degree turnaround to more closely align with those of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
