Making his debut as a vice presidential candidate on Tuesday, Tim Walz staked his claim to Middle American values and argued that former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, are “weird” and “creepy as hell.”

Walz, the governor of Minnesota, also got the packed arena laughing with a reference to a meme about Vance having relations with a couch.

“I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
