Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz kicked off an October media blitz for the Harris campaign with an adversarial interview on "Fox News Sunday," where he was grilled on his history of embellishments.
- "I will own up when I misspeak. I will own up when I make a mistake," Walz said, before downplaying misleading statements about using in-vitro fertilization to have a child.
"Let's be very clear: On that debate stage the other night, I asked one very simple question, and Sen. Vance would not acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election," Walz said.
- "I think [voters are] probably far more concerned with that than my wife and I used [intrauterine insemination] to have our child, and that Donald Trump would restrict that," he argued.
📺 What to watch: Harris and Walz both taped interviews with "60 Minutes," airing tomorrow night.
- Harris also sat for an interview with the hit podcast "Call Her Daddy," out today, and will appear this week on "The View," "The Howard Stern Show" and "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
