Watch live: Walz gives remarks at firefighters convention in Boston

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz is addressing members of the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) Wednesday at their convention in Boston.

The union reports that they represent some 350,000 firefighters and emergency workers in 85 percent of U.S. and Canadian communities.

Walz, Minnesota’s governor, is coming off the Democratic convention where he impressed his party with a dynamic speech.

Vice President Harris, the new Democratic presidential nominee, has been riding a wave of strong poll results since the convention. The support of major unions like the IAFF could prove vital, even as Republicans work to rein it in.

Walz is slated to appear at 10:30 a.m. EDT.

It’s crazy that people think that what he is saying is crazy.

It’s so normal & what I’ve been sharing to hear for so long .

God Bless America. Keep us safe & sound.

i also watch Vance speaks now comparing - i think Vance is smarter than waltz

[PaulaGPDX]

Why the average American citizen and worker thinks that Donald Trump (or JD Vance) gives a single hoot about you, your job, your neighborhood, and your family is simply beyond me!

All they care about is your vote to enhance their power and increase their pocketbooks, no question.

[lilbeag]

Lol. The biggest contradiction I've ever heard

[AmazingGrace]

Why does she need to wait? She's the vice president now!
She's had 3.5 years to do the things she says she'll do IF she gets elected 😢😅😅😅

[JohnMartin-dnez]

Is he capable of making a truthful statement? I don't think so.

[takenoshortcuts]

Stay true. Stay positive. Work hard. Fight for freedom.

[Psybo]

So he basically just said don’t vote for Donald Trump because he’s a businessman and he knows how to do business very well

I don’t even think he heard himself speak

[copperstillco]

Someone tell this guy to waltz himself back to Minnesota
Did this guy just say pension ?
You guys ARE THE OLIGARCHS.

[stellaaniston]

Why are they not showing the crowd? Hmm, dude Fire isn’t with you, the union bosses may be but the individual workers DO NOT want you!

How dare you, you won’t let teachers arm themselves if they want to. However, Tim is really good at LYING, DENYING & DELAYING so tampons are in the boys restroom but the children CANNOT READ!
