Minnesota governor Tim Walz is making a last minute push to get people to vote. Walz made the plea in an exclusive interview on AM 1170s Between the Lines program. “I’m just so excited. Yesterday in Wisconsin we (campaign) knocked on 215,000 doors, we’ve got those 50 offices open, and I think this thing is coming into focus for folks that they’ve got an opportunity to choose a leader who is taking their concerns to heart,” Walz said. “I think the country is ready to get this done and just encouraging all the folks out there in Wisconsin…get out there and vote.” Responding to Republicans’ who say it’s Democrats who are creating fear and division during the campaign. “The vice president gave that speech on the (White House) ellipse that was one of hopefulness, one of vision, one of a plan. They (Trump-Vance) are simply not where the public’s at, the public is where the vice president is,” Walz said. Walz says former president Trump’s planned deportation of undocumented immigrants would negatively impact rural areas, like this area of Wisconsin that rely heavily on immigrant labor. “The folks that are here, the dreamers and others…they are a big part of the economy,” Walz told WFDL news. “We need to provide a unified way making sure we know who is in this country, they’re here legally, but they’re part of our community and they’re respected for that, especially in ag country.” “Donald Trump has no plan other than to stoke fear among folks.” As close as the race is, Walz says he is confident when people wake up Wednesday morning we will know who the next president of the United States is.
