PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania — Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the Democratic vice presidential nominee, began Tuesday in western Pennsylvania trying to earn the rural vote in Lawrence County, the exurban vote in Butler, and finally the urban vote in Pittsburgh.

Dressed in an Orvis variation of the red and black checkered flannel shirt that hunters in this region for generations have called the Pennsylvania Tuxedo, Walz also donned a camouflage cap as he began the day at the home of a former Democratic candidate for congress who owns a farm in the Amish country village of Volant.
