"I'm not okay with polls being where they're at, and that's why we've told them ... get out and make yourself available. You do press conferences, you stand in front of people and take questions that weren't given to you ahead of time and do the best you can to answer those. And those are the things that I expect them to do."
— Gov. Tim Walz on concerns that Minnesota and other states will be even more competitive following fallout over President Biden's debate performance.
The big picture: Walz,a Biden surrogate, said his "position hasn't changed" on supporting the incumbent as the nominee.
"If President Biden says he's going forward, that's where I'm at. I'm working with him."
Between the lines: As Democratic Governors Association chair, Walz may have an influential role in the debate over how to proceed.
