With just two weeks left to go until Election Day, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, has been going on a media blitz this week, appearing on The View and The Daily Show to make the last-minute case for the Harris-Walz ticket.

Appearing on The View this week, Walz talked about Donald Trump’s McDonald’s stunt over the weekend.

“Vice President Harris and I grew up middle class,” Walz said on the talk show.  “We understand that she actually worked in a McDonald’s, she didn’t go and pander and disrespect McDonald’s workers by standing there in your red tie and take a picture.”

“His policies are the ones that undermine those very workers that were in that McDonald’s, whether it’s home ownership, health care, reproductive rights or cost of products,” Walz said on the show.  “Just to be very clear, nothing Donald Trump is proposing does anything about the middle class.”

Also in that interview, Walz stated that Trump, as evidenced by his recent behavior, was “spiraling down.”

“It’s very clear that, as you said, Donald Trump is spiraling down, unhinged,” the vice presidential candidate said on the show. “What worries me about these comments, some of these are just so strange that they’re hard to imagine, are the dangerous ones in the middle of that — the ‘enemy from within’ and some of that.”

Also during the media blitz, Walz appeared on The Daily Show, hosted that night by Jon Stewart. He answered questions about guns, the urban/rural divide, and the decision by the Harris-Walz ticket to campaign with Liz Cheney. The latter gave Stewart an opportunity to make a joke about “rifle safety” being an important qualification for a vice president. Dick Cheney hunting accident jokes, after all, were a staple of Stewart’s original Daily Show stint, back in the Bush years.
