Minneapolis (VINnews)-Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is reportedly feeling the pressure ahead of his highly anticipated debate with Ohio Senator JD Vance. According to CNN, Walz has been candid with his inner circle, admitting he’s “nervous” about the upcoming showdown. Campaign insiders say Walz has been participating in extensive preparation sessions, some of which have gone late into the night. To help him prepare, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been stepping in as Vance during mock debates.

Despite the rigorous prep, Walz has expressed concerns that he might not meet expectations. Sources within his campaign say the governor is particularly worried about disappointing Vice President Kamala Harris, who is said to have high hopes for his debate performance. During an interview with Harris, when Walz was considered for the vice-presidential spot, he reportedly warned her that he wasn’t a skilled debater. According to the CNN report, Walz now claims he feels “maybe more nervous” about this debate than he did during that critical interview.
The Walz campaign is doing what it can to help him manage his stress, with one insider noting that keeping him in a positive “headspace” has become a priority. Having Buttigieg, a seasoned debater, play the role of Vance is one of the key strategies his team hopes will sharpen Walz’s performance.
And he is supposed to be capable of running the country? Weird
JD Vance will wipe the floor with the buffoon Tim Walz.
JD : Bring up the weird one’s phony “combat” history ’cause the mods won’t. Bash him over his closing and destroying mom & pop stores during Covid, ’cause the mods won’t.
His body language is yelling I AM SOOO NERVOUS SO I NEED EVEYONES APPLUSE AND RECOGNITION/ATTENTION TO CALM ME DOWN!! What a stupid head!
Vegas odds makers are betting jd Vance knocks him 15 rows back in the second round
He should learn from his wife Gwen: TURN THE PAGE!!!!
He wasn’t nervous when he “flipped” the bird at booing football fans.

Why is Walz rubbing his nose and his ear?
Stepping in as Vance during mock debates, they couldn’t come up with anything more believable than Pete Buttigieg with huge fake breast’s. Nu-nu.
This is a story put out to decrease expectations of his performance so if he does bad they are out in front of it and and if he does good they clap him on the back and say he performed greater than expectations. This is salesmanship 101. Don’t be fooled.
He should be
He contributed to neo nazis fund
Walz should be infinitely more scared of his upcoming court case just 36 he’s later
Buttigieg finally back to work?
