Walz praises Biden's record but stops short of saying he’s "done everything right"
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said President Joe Biden has done “everything in the best interest of the American public” but stopped short of saying he’d done “everything right” during an interview with ABC News on Friday.
Walz was asked if he agreed with Vice President Kamala Harris, who said in an interview on Tuesday that she couldn’t think of anything she’d do differently from Biden over the last four years. Walz said he believes Harris was making the point that “her values on these hasn’t changed.”
“I think for all of us, we make decisions, we reanalyze afterwards. I think the thing that drew me to this ticket, and I think what the vice president’s talking about, is that her values on these hasn’t changed,” he said.
Walz praised Biden’s record over his last four years but stopped short of saying Biden has “done everything right” while stressing the difference between the Biden administration’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic versus the Trump administration.
“Look, I don’t know if any of us do everything right, but I can tell you he’s done everything in the best interest of the American public. He’s listened to what the public good. He’s asked for answers, and I think — you know, and reevaluated afterwards,” he said. “And I think if your values and the judgments you’re making and the ethical decisions you’re making — he’s done that, and I, again, have seen the difference that it made, especially during the Covid pandemic, of what it looks like to have that ethical, visionary leadership versus someone who’s incredibly self-centered.”
