After giving a speech on Tuesday in South Philadelphia, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) likened Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), to a “San Francisco-style liberal.”

While it is true that Walz is a progressive Democrat who supports policies such as giving illegal immigrants driver’s licenses and pushing for carbon-free energy in Minnesota in a short time frame, his background as a high school teacher and an Army sergeant born and raised in Nebraska will make it hard for Republicans to tag him with the same elitist criticisms thrown to California-born Harris.
