A Visibly Shaky Walz Says the World Needs ‘Steady Leadership’
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz kicked off his debate against Ohio Sen. JD Vance on shaky footing when he was first asked about his foreign policy platform in the Middle East. During the CBS News Vice Presidential Debate, Walz was visibly shaky and stammered while delivering his response.
When asked if he would support or oppose a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran, Walz called for “steady leadership” and emphasized the importance of Israel’s ability to defend itself, getting its hostages back, and ending the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He also criticized former President Donald Trump and his administration officials, arguing that Trump’s leadership was not what the world needed in this moment.
Walz continued by praising Vice President Kamala Harris for showing “steady leadership” on the world stage, highlighting her ability to draw coalitions together and protect U.S. and allied forces. He criticized Trump for his perceived fickleness in holding coalitions together, which he believed would lead to instability and consequences.
