Both come from the US provinces, both have grown out of them. But both could hardly be more different: JD Vance and Tim Walz. The vice presidential candidates in comparison.
Tim Walz
The guy: Something like the epitome of the “American Dad”: friendly, down-to-earth, family man. The 60-year-old was a teacher and women’s football coach and comes from the Midwest, the epitome of the provinces in the USA.
The politician: Walz became a member of parliament at the age of 42. In 2018, he ran for governor of Minnesota and was later re-elected. As head of government, he introduced free school meals, advocated stricter gun laws, cannabis legalization and the right to abortion. When protests escalated in Minneapolis following the murder of African-American George Floyd, the Democrat called in the National Guard.
