Tim Walz’s older brother now says he is not the most fit for VP, stating he opposes 100% of his ideologies, according to a series of posts.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is facing criticism from his older brother, Jeff Walz, who expressed strong opposition to Tim’s political ideology in a series of Facebook posts.
Jeff described Tim, the Minnesota governor and running mate of Kamala Harris, as the “wrong type of character” to make decisions about America’s future.
Jeff Walz stated he is considering endorsing former President Donald Trump, saying he has thought about it but is conflicted about involving his family.
He expressed deep dissatisfaction with Tim’s choices, noting that many of their family members were not informed about Tim’s selection as Harris’ running mate.
The brothers have not spoken in eight years, and Jeff revealed that he felt blindsided by Tim’s political moves.
This tension became more public following a post Jeff made on the day Trump was indicted, where he lamented the state of the country.
Both brothers have faced legal issues; Tim was arrested for DUI in 1995, while Jeff pleaded guilty to misdemeanor retail theft in 2001, per the NY Post.
Despite their troubled relationship, they share a background in education, having both worked as teachers.
Tim Walz has been criticized for implementing strict COVID-19 lockdowns and for his progressive policies, which some view as indicative of a ‘socialist agenda’.
Jeff’s comments have drawn attention, with Republican representatives highlighting the familial discord as evidence of Tim Walz’s perceived failures as a leader.
This situation is not unique, as many prominent politicians have faced family members publicly criticizing them.
However, representatives for the Walz and Harris campaigns have not responded to requests for comment on the matter.

Donald Trump now says Harris is a ‘threat to democracy’ after publishing to X, formerly known as Twitter, a series of his worldview.
The former President says Kamala Harris was the first one out of 22 people to quit when she ran against Biden.
“And now she’s a presidential candidate?,” posted Trump to Musk’s social media platform on Saturday.
“Kamala Harris is the Weakest Presidential Candidate in History on Crime.
She’s allowed millions of people to pour through our Borders, many from prisons, mental institutions and, indeed, terrorists, coming in at levels never seen before.
What gives her the right to run for President? She got no votes to Biden’s 14 Million.
She failed in her previous attempt, was the first one out of 22 people to quit, never made it to Iowa, and now she’s a Presidential Candidate?
This is a Threat to Democracy!”
Harris has recently been criticized for switching sides and opinions on proposals, with Trump supporters stating his beliefs and messages have remained consistent over the years.
“Donald Trump is surrendering to his advisors who won’t allow him to debate with a live microphone,” Harris posted to X.
If his own team doesn’t have confidence in him, the American people definitely can’t.
We are running for President of the United States. Let’s debate in a transparent way—with the microphones on the whole time.
Despite sources such as the Economist suggesting Harris is leading the presidential polls, Trump continues to be the most popular candidate on X.

Billionaire Grant Cardone now scrutinizes Harris’ painful tax proposals claiming she will double the prices of homes overnight.
“The Kamala Capital Gains Tax WILL DOUBLE Home Prices Overnight The Math 🧮 The average $440,000 home will have to be sold for $648,000 to net the same dollars to seller,” Cardone posted on X.
The Undercover Billionaire star says that tens of millions of Americans will be unable to access the equity of their home during their retirement years.
Grant laid out what he predicts will be a result of Kamala Harris getting voted into office:
Sellers will increase price to make up difference.
Fewer homes will sell – already at all time low.
Sellers will turn homes into rentals exacerbating housing shortage.
New buyers will be priced out of the market allowing institutions to dominate ownership of real assets.
Tens of millions of Americans will be unable to access their equity during retirement.
While Kamala is proposing a myriad of tax increases, Trump has suggested lowering and eliminating taxes completely.
“Seniors should not pay tax on Social Security,” Trump wrote on July 31 in all capital letters on social media platform Truth Social, and repeated the point during an Aug. 7 Fox & Friends interview.
However, Trump is not the first to suggest the elimination of taxes on Social Security benefits.
One Democratic bill introduced in January in the House of Representatives — the You Earned It, You Keep It Act — likewise calls for excluding Social Security benefits from gross income for federal income taxes.
If enacted, the bill would save the typical senior household almost $560 per year, the Senior Citizens League, a non-partisan senior group, recently estimated.
Trump is also proposing ending income tax after announcing a new strategy on tariffs.
The impact of raising costs on tariffs would mean that prices would rise on all imported goods.
However, Americans would keep more of their hard-earned money.

RFK Jr. is now expected to drop out of the presidential race to support Trump by the end of the week, sources are confirming.
Sources tell ABC News that Kennedy plans to endorse Donald Trump — but when asked directly by ABC News if he will be endorsing the former president, Kennedy said, “I will not confirm or deny that.”
“We are not talking about any of that,” he said.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering a potential endorsement of Donald Trump for president.
While a final decision hasn’t been made and could change, sources suggest Kennedy hopes to announce his decision soon to counter the momentum from the Democratic National Convention.
One possibility being discussed is a joint appearance with Trump at an event in Phoenix on Friday.
However, sources caution that Kennedy’s plans could shift, and Trump’s team has not confirmed any plans for Friday, per ABC News.
Kennedy’s campaign manager, Amaryllis Fox, emailed staff on Wednesday expressing gratitude for their work but indicating that a decision on the campaign’s future direction had not been reached.
“There are a couple potential paths forward, not only two, and I can bear witness to the care, examination that Bobby has invested in the consideration of each,” Fox wrote, according to the source.
A spokesperson for Kennedy posted on X that Kennedy will “address the nation” live on Friday to discuss his “path forward,” but offered no specifics.
Kennedy told ABC News regarding the Democratic convention and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, “I think it was a coronation, it’s not democracy. Nobody voted. Who chose Kamala? It wasn’t voters”.

Trump now wants to eliminate income tax, saving people money after, announcing a new strategy to institute a policy on tariffs.
This policy on tariffs would lead to the elimination of the federal income tax, per Yahoo Finance.
Tariffs allow the United States to increase the cost of foreign-made products, particularly those that come from countries that have significantly lower labor and materials costs, or those who allow unfair trade practices.
The effect of a tariff is to level the playing field for domestic companies who keep jobs local and are subject to the labor laws of the United States.
Tariffs are paid to the U.S. government before foreign goods can be brought into the country.
“The additional cost incurred by the foreign manufacturer would then be passed on to the consumer in the form of a higher retail price,” reports Yahoo Finance.
“During Trump’s presidential term, he used tariffs to increase the cost of goods made in China, so that American goods could be priced more competitively.”
The impact of raising costs on tariffs again would mean that prices would rise on all imported goods.
However, Americans would keep more of their hard-earned money if Trump is able to eliminate federal taxes on income.
Less taxes equals more purchasing power, which creates a healthy circulation in our economy.
The increasing odds of a recession in the United States is primarily due to rising layoffs, an increase in bankruptcies, and a decrease in purchasing power.

These policy proposals come at a time when the overall economy seems to be on an upward trajectory, with inflation easing and consumer spending remaining strong.
Simultaneously, the Biden-Harris administration continues its efforts to implement widespread student loan forgiveness.
Harris’s policy proposal, released this week as she is set to give a major economic speech in North Carolina, would involve using federal funds to purchase medical debt from health providers, and then ultimately cancel it, according to the Washington Post.
The medical debt forgiveness initiative is an extension of Vice President Harris’s previous efforts to alleviate the burden of medical debt for Americans.
She previously collaborated with North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper to eliminate medical debt for 2 million residents of the state.
Last June, Harris announced a joint initiative with the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to prevent medical bills from being reflected on consumer credit reports.
“President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that getting sick or taking care of loved ones should not mean financial hardship for American families,” said the White House in a statement in June.
“The burden of medical debt and its impact on credit reports inflicts serious financial repercussions on American families, restricting access to credit, increasing risk of bankruptcy, creating barriers to housing and health care access, and negatively impacting health outcomes.
This debt is often placed on American families despite evidence of medical bills frequently being invalid, unsubstantiated, and inaccurate.”
Harris proposed efforts to “Leverage public dollars to purchase and eliminate medical debt; prevent accumulation of medical debt and protect patients from aggressive debt collectors by expanding access to charity care; and protect patients and consumers by limiting coercive debt collections practices by health care providers and third-party debt collectors.”
Harris’s call to erase medical debt comes just weeks after she reaffirmed her commitment to enacting widespread student loan forgiveness.

Kamala Harris is now proposing raising crypto tax to 28%, according to an announcement she made in a recent campaign in Georgia.
During her recent campaign stop in Georgia, Vice President Kamala Harris proposed raising the tax rate on cryptocurrency investments to 28% for the wealthy.
This move is part of her broader economic policy, which aims to support the middle class and small businesses.
Harris’s economic proposal echoes President Biden’s budget plan, which includes raising taxes on wealthy cryptocurrency investors.
The idea is centered around strengthening the middle class, providing support for small businesses, and tackling student loan debt.
Her approach emphasizes fairness and creating more economic opportunities for everyone.
However, the crypto community says raising the crypto tax to 28% is too much.
In Atlanta, Harris drew a larger crowd than President Biden has this year, highlighting her campaign’s strength in the South.
Her speech featured a notable appearance with rapper Megan Thee Stallion, reflecting a high-profile campaign effort.
In mid-August, Harris is expected to further detail parts of her economic agenda.
“Her platform continues to prioritize support for working families and small businesses, along with her commitment to addressing economic inequality,” reports CoinLive.
It seems the solution to every problem at the moment seems to be ‘higher taxes’.
But higher taxes is only making the government wealthier, no matter the party.
With inflation just starting to cool and less purchasing power from Americans due to rising taxes and mass layoffs, is higher taxes really what America needs right now?
