Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, said Wednesday that Americans are "hungry to find a unifying message" as he and Vice President Kamala Harris make their final appeal to voters less than a week before Election Day. "People are hungry to come back together," Walz said on "CBS Mornings." "They're hungry for us to find solutions."
Harris delivered her closing argument in the campaign Tuesday night from the same site that her opponent, former President Donald Trump, spoke to his supporters before they marched to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to stop the counting of the electoral votes.
Walz said Harris' speech, which sought to contrast her vision for the country with Trump's in the final stretch of the campaign, represented "the best of America."
"One that's talking about unifying us, one that's talking about bringing folks to the table," Walz said about the speech that, in part, targeted undecided voters. "The American tradition of disagreeing and debating but still doing it in a respectful manner."
