Vice President Kamala Harris selected Tim Walz as her running mate, sparking backlash from Trump’s campaign. Walz’s Covid-19 response, including stay-at-home orders and mask mandates, has been contentious. Republicans criticized him for imposing strict policies, while public health officials supported his efforts to curb hospitalizations. Minnesota had low death rates but faced criticism for extended ICU overcrowding. Walz defended his decisions, considering social and economic implications. Republicans also criticized his handling of anti-racism protests in Minneapolis. Despite mixed assessments of his response, the state’s Supreme Court upheld his authority. The deep divide over pandemic responses remains a key issue in the upcoming election.
