Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, “coach” Tim Walz, was criticized for his unbridled enthusiasm during their last meeting in Las Vegas.
The duo held their fifth rally in five days in the swing state late Saturday night, hoping to win over undecided voters. And Walz was more than excited about it!
In a video circulating on X, the Minnesota governor can be seen clapping happily as the crowd goes wild and he walks from the podium onto the stage.
As music blasts through the speakers, Walz is brimming with exuberance in the short clip, waving happily to the huge crowd of party supporters who cheer him on.

But while his energy and enthusiasm were praised by the public, many online critics questioned his ‘bizarre’ behaviour.
While some X users claimed the former teacher had “villain energy,” others claimed he had “jazz” or “spirit fingers.”
On August 9, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called the governor a socialist “Comrade Walz” during a campaign rally in Montana.
Speaking before a crowd of thousands at a sold-out Brick Breeden Fieldhouse at Montana State University in Bozeman, the former president called Kamala Harris’ running mate extremely progressive.
Trump criticized his actions as governor, ridiculing Walz’s decision to provide feminine hygiene products in school boys’ bathrooms, as well as his actions during the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis.
“As governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz allowed rioters and looters to burn down Minneapolis,” Trump said. “Tim Walz is a very strange man.”

At the rally in Las Vegas, the vice president leapt up the stairs into a packed stadium and assured her supporters that she would seek to eliminate the federal income tax on tips if elected president.
“He signed a bill to give illegal immigrants free health care, he abolished Columbus Day, he mandated that tampons be placed in boys’ bathrooms … he signed a law that allows the state to kidnap children to change their gender,” he continued on a whim, calling it an “ultra-liberal agenda.”
“Walz said socialism is just another form of neighborliness,” Trump told the crowd. “He ordered tampons in the boys’ bathroom.”
The former president criticized Walz for being endorsed by self-described Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, calling him a socialist.
At the rally in Las Vegas on Saturday night, Harris bounded up the stairs in a packed stadium and assured her supporters that she would seek to eliminate the federal income tax on tips if elected president, a policy similar to Trump’s proposal.

“If I’m president, we will continue to fight for working families in America, including raising the minimum wage and eliminating the tip tax for service and hospitality workers,” she confidently told the crowd in Las Vegas.
Shortly after Harris announced his policies, the former president accused her on his social media website, Truth Social, of copying his ideas.
‘Kamala Harris, whose “honeymoon” period is ENDING and who is starting to get punished in the polls, just copied my NO TAX ON TIPS policy. The difference is she won’t do it, she just wants it for political purposes! This was TRUMP’s idea – She has no ideas, she can only steal from me.
“Remember, Kamala proposed the BIGGEST TAX HIKE IN HISTORY – It won’t happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” he said miserably wrote.
