More Family Members of VP Pick Tim Walz Show Support for Donald Trump
Newsweek, Published Sep 04, 2024
Anew picture of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's family shows several members supporting his rival, former President Donald Trump.
A leaked photo has circulated widely on social media, showing eight relatives of Walz, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris' running mate, wearing "Walz for Trump" T-shirts and standing in front of a "Trump 2024 – Take America Back" flag.
The image, originally shared by a friend of the family, was later posted by Charles W. Herbster, a former gubernatorial candidate in Nebraska and a Trump ally. X Twitter
Herbster's caption, "Tim Walz's family back in Nebraska wants you to know something," further amplified the image's impact across Trump-supporting circles. The former president later reshared it on his Truth Social profile.
When asked about the authenticity of the picture, a representative for Herbster told Newsweek that those in the photo are related to Walz through his grandfather's brother and that it was shared by a family friend. The family gave Herbster permission to publish it online.
This is not the first time Walz's family has made headlines for their political differences. Jeff Walz, Tim Walz's older brother, has made a series of public comments that further highlighted the family divide. Jeff, a resident of Florida, posted on Facebook that he is "100% opposed" to his brother's political views.

"Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future," Jeff Walz wrote, referring to his brother.
The Facebook posts, originally from March 2023, have galvanized Trump supporters, who view the comments as ammunition against the Democratic vice presidential nominee.
Jeff Walz later clarified that while he strongly disagrees with his brother's policies, it was not his intent to influence voters.
"I was just trying to make sure my friends knew I didn't share the same views," Jeff Walz told NewsNation in an interview.
Jeff also expressed frustration that the family was not informed about his brother's vice-presidential selection until it became public, while also acknowledging that they have not spoken in years.
Despite calls from some Trump supporters for him to publicly endorse the former president, Jeff Walz has refrained from making any formal declaration of support.
Tim Walz’s Dog Scout Endorses Trump
Sep 4, 2024 · BabylonBee.com
ST. PAUL, MN — In a stunning development today, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's dog "Scout" has officially endorsed Donald J. Trump for president in 2024.
"Bark!" said Scout in a statement.
The dog, reportedly one of Tim Walz's closest friends in the world, confirmed that he was supporting Trump because of his position on immigration and support of Israel.
"Woof!" said Scout, doubling down on his position.
According to sources, Scout first became upset because Walz would be gone for weeks at a time on the campaign trail. Without his best friend, he began spending most of his time on the Internet to pass the time where he was reportedly radicalized by clips of Tim Walz lying about his military service and praising socialism.
When asked if he felt betrayed, Scout was quoted as saying, "Awooooo!"
The Kamala Harris team has been unsuccessful in their attempts to sweep the stinging rebuke of a dog under the rug. "We understand that Scout has different views on the direction of the country," said campaign spokesperson Wilma White. "But we are not going back."
"Yip yip," said Scout, remembering that dog food prices were much cheaper under the Trump presidency.
At publishing time, Kamala Harris was forced to put Tim Walz down to save her polling numbers.
