Walz ‘Down to Earth, Great Guy’: Vice Chair of Democratic Caucus

Congressman Liu, so good to see you here at the DNC. Honor to be here. What does Governor Walz need to accomplish tonight in his speech? I had the honor of serving with Governor Walz when he was in Congress. I'm a veteran like he is. He was the highest ranking enlisted member in Congress, and he is one of the strongest fighters for veterans. He was a ranking member of the Veterans Committee, always fighting for more benefits for veterans. He's just a normal, down-to-earth, great guy, former teacher, former soldier, and he is going to rock America with his amazing speech tonight. How do you see them winning this year? Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are running on a ticket of joy and of lowering costs in kitchen table issues, lowering affordable housing costs, making housing more affordable, also fighting to make sure that people can afford prescription drugs. The Biden-Harris administration has lowered the cost of insulin to $35 a month, and they're lowering other drug costs because we're having Medicare negotiate drugs, and that's bringing down costs across the board in terms of prescription drugs. Biden was portrayed as more of the centrist candidate. Vice President Harris was portrayed as more of the progressive candidate. Some folks might say that both are progressive today. Is that a challenge for getting some of the undecided, middle-of-the-road voters, that kind of thing? Kamala Harris is going to be a president for everyone in America, not just folks who vote for her. And again, she's focused on lowering costs, on making housing more affordable, making prescription drugs more affordable, those kitchen table issues that really affect the overwhelming majority of Americans.
