Donald Trump thinks there’s something fishy about Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
This comes on the same day that more relatives of the Democratic vice presidential candidate have revealed that they will vote for Trump in November.
Trump has come to the defense of his running mate JD Vance after Democrats tried to label him “weird” this summer.
But the former president says Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz is “a weird guy.”
“There’s something fishy about that guy,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a live town hall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday.
Donald Trump said there is “something strange” about Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz during a town hall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday.
“JD is not weird, he’s rock solid. I’m rock solid,” the 2024 Republican presidential candidate added. “We’re not weird, we may be other things, but we’re not weird.”
‘(Walz) is a weird guy. He gets on stage and something happens to him, and he calls me weird. And then the fake news media picks it up. That was the word of the day: weird, weird, weird.’
“But we’re not weirdos, we’re very solid people,” Trump concluded.
Earlier on Wednesday, a photograph emerged of eight members of Walz’s family through his great-uncle on his grandfather’s side showing their support and intention to vote for Trump in November.
This came just days after it was revealed that Walz’s estranged older brother, Jeff, 67, shared messages on Facebook claiming that Americans should not want someone with the Minnesota governor’s “character” in the White House.
“I was very honored today,” Trump told Hannity. “Your brother supported me.”
“And his whole family… I saw the picture,” he continued. “Honestly, it was a very nice family. But his family supported me and the whole family supported me.”
Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday that he hopes to meet with Jeff Walz, who resides in the Florida Panhandle with his wife.
Fox News proposed hosting a debate between Trump and Harris on Wednesday in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, but the vice president’s team declined and agreed to ABC News’ showdown in Philadelphia on Sept. 10 as the first debate.
Instead of holding the first debate on Wednesday, Trump went to Harrisburg for a town hall debate moderated by Hannity.
“This is the best we could do, Sean,” Trump said of his modified plan.
The photo of the Walz family was shared by former Republican candidate for Nebraska governor Charles W. Herbster, along with eight others wearing T-shirts reading “Nebraska Walz’s for Trump.”
A representative for Herbster told DailyMail.com that the people posing are related to Walz through his grandfather’s brother.
“Tim Walz’s family in Nebraska wants you to know something…” Herbster captioned the image.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz has repeatedly called his Republican rival, Sen. JD Vance, “weird.”

Tim Walz has an estranged brother named Jeff (pictured left with his wife Laurie) who says the Minnesota governor is “not the kind of person you want making decisions about your future.”
Trump responded to the image Wednesday by saying he plans to “meet” with another member of Walz’s family not pictured: the governor’s older brother, Jeff, who the former president said is backing his White House bid.
The photo quickly went viral among MAGA users, who say her own family’s opposition to her candidacy is proof that people should be careful about voting for a Harris-Walz ticket.
Jeff Walz posted about his brother’s character in a Facebook post last week, saying, “I am 100% against his entire ideology.”
But Jeff now admits he had no intention of influencing voters with his social media activity.
“It was not my intention, it was not our intention as a family, to put something out there to influence the general public,” Jeff Walz told NewsNation.
“I was getting a lot of comments from my friends, old acquaintances, thinking that I felt the same as my brother on those issues, and I was trying to clarify that only to my friends,” he continued.
“I used Facebook, which was not the appropriate platform to do so, but I must admit that I do not agree with their policies.”
Other users urged the married father of two to support Trump’s campaign.
Jeff, who lives in Freeport, Florida, with his wife Laurie, responded: “I’ve thought a lot about doing something like that. I’m torn between that and just leaving my family out of it.”
“The stories he could tell. He’s not the kind of character you want making decisions about your future.”
He noted that it has been eight years since he spoke to his younger brother Tim.
