When a man will stop his speech to make sure someone in the audience is OK, that says so much.

[krendellbreaux]

When was the last time you heard a politician mention education?

[hc]

8:57 it’s so refreshing to have a leader who practices compassion and holds off on their speech while someone gets medical attention.

As an old Navy vet myself (E1-E5 / O1-O6 / GS15), altogether 49-years, I couldn’t be more PROUD than to support fellow Vet, Gov Tim Walz. Please, fellow vets, reflect on the bozo at the top of the MAGA/GOP ticket and his draft-dodging and disrespect for military member before you vote Republican yourself. Please, also tell your friends, family, and neighbors about how we military know honest friends. Thank you.

Look how he stopped the show just to help 1 person. If that is not noble, I don't know what is.

[lymanellsworth]

It's so radical to stand for the average American rather than billionaires says Trump.

[cynthialeech]

It's so nice to see a group of old white people without MAGA gear!

[kateskeys]

We need more kindness, compassion and empathy.
This is so awesome!

[NickLinke]

Wait hold up. He just stopped the speech to make sure someone wasn't overheating and was ok. I don't think I've ever seen a politician do that.

[maggiaebi]

It wasn't about getting heard...he waited until his audience member was stable before moving on. Genuine. Just Genuine. This brings some kindness and compassion to what we are all facing with this election and our country's future. Thank you Tim Walz. Thank you Kamala Harris.

Energy, invigorating, fresh, great sense of humor, witty, exudes sense of love, this is what this country needs now and come Nov 2024... Look at that, stopped midstream his speech to care for someone in the crowd. The other person who will remain nameless, would leave you to die sad..

[CrashtestgamerCTG]

What a breath of fresh air, as a independent I don't give my vote based on the political letter by the name, they need to earn my vote. One of the problems I had with Kamala was her record of putting Marijuana users behind bars but putting a vp on the ticket that legalized Marijuana in his state might just get me to vote for them.

[Dgayjj]

How refreshing, candidates campaigning on policy & issues that matter, not hate and divisive rhetoric. Harris/Walz 2024!

[rosemagny]

What a contrast! Walz comes out and praise elected officials of the state is in, trump goes to Georgia and bash their governor 🤦🏽‍♀️

[Deb-ator]

Tim Walz is great He is a great communicator, he appears affable, decent, fair-minded, warm. I find him positive, eloquent, entertaining, candid, confident, assertive, and no-nonsense. His traits make him the perfect candidate for VP and the best possible antidote to Vance who has little to recommend him.

[marystewart]

Remember at a rally that Trump was holding once and someone in the audience took ill and someone was calling for water. Quick as a flash Trump got out his bottle of water from his podium, unscrewed the top and started drinking it himself.

[homiehomerson]

Wow, a rally goer was overheating and Walz STOPPED speaking and waited till the person got help and looked like he was about to go give the help himself. When that happened at tRump's rally he drank some water himself, said something sarcastic and then told the crowd he didnt care about them, just their votes. STARK DIFFERENCE!

[TrashTVTreasures]

Y’all can vote for Trump if you want to, but I’m voting for the guy who actually gives af about people.

[davidcwitkin]

Just the thought of this guy on the ticket making Trump's brain melt makes me happy!

[christinegladhill]

There is a recording that just leaked of Trump calling Governor Walz in 2020 during the George Floyd uprising and actually praising his handling of it. He calls the governor a great guy. You can hear the difference between Donald Trump praising the fact that the national guard came in and got control quickly but you can also hear the compassion in the governor's voice saying that his community was in pain and reforms were needed that the outrage was justified but that there were bad actors involved. He accepted responsibility in another video. I just love the guy...
