Walz says debate prep is "going great" during stop at Michigan farm

 Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz said Sunday that his debate prep is “going great” ahead of his Tuesday matchup with his Republican counterpart, JD Vance.

“Good, it’s going great. This is the fun part,” the Minnesota governor told reporters during a stop at Pond Hill Farm in Harbor Springs, Michigan, where he is hunkering down for “debate camp.”

Walz; his wife, Gwen; and their daughter, Hope, browsed baked goods, peppers and other items from the farm’s store.

He also took part in “squash launching” on the farm, where he fired pumpkins through a hydraulic launcher at a set of targets. Walz hit one target on his fourth shot, but then admitted he was aiming for a different target, according to reporters traveling with him.

VP debate: CNN previously reported that Walz is fighting off nerves heading into his debate against Vance. The pressure is high: For the first time in modern campaign history, the vice presidential debate on Tuesday could be the last marquee event before Election Day.

With many voters still saying they don’t know enough about Vice President Kamala Harris, it could be up to Walz to help convince them to trust a vice president he barely knew himself before she picked him.
