Tim Walz in CNN "State of the Union" interviews for 2024 races


On Principles & Values: Trump's weirdness is simply what we're observing

Q: Democratic voters had a deep lack of confidence in President Biden's ability to serve another term. Dean Phillips was trying to make that point when he challenged Biden in the primary. You belittled his effort. But wasn't Dean Phillips actually right?

A: What I said was, President Biden was delivering. I applaud Joe Biden. I think he made the right decision in terms of the ability to prosecute this case against Donald Trump's weirdness.

Q: You have gotten some attention this week for calling Trump and Vance and Republicans in general weird.

A: When you just ratchet down some of the scariness or whatever and just name it what it is, I got to tell you, my observation is, have you ever seen the guy laugh? That seems very weird to me that an adult can go through six-and-a- half years of being in the public eye. If he has laughed, it's at someone, not with someone. That is weird behavior. And I don't think you call it anything else. It's simply what we're observing.
