Former President Donald Trump flipped attacks from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz during a town hall event in Pennsylvania on Wednesday night.
Trump took questions from swing state voters in at the New Holland Arena in Harrisburg, the capital city of the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania on Saturday, in an event hosted by Fox News on Wednesday. Trump had initially agreed to debate Vice President Harris on the same date, though the Harris-Walz campaign refused to take questions from Fox News moderators.
The Trump Campaign noted that Trump debated President Biden in an event hosted by a left-wing network in CNN earlier this year, and announced that Trump would be showing up for the Fox News event regardless.

In one notable exchange, moderator Sean Hannity asked the former president about attacks from Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz.
“There’s something weird with that guy. He’s a weird guy,” Trump said of Walz, drawing laughs from onlookers. “J.D. is not weird. He’s a solid rock. I happen to be a very solid rock. We’re not weird. We’re other things perhaps, but we’re not weird.”
Walz — who signed a bill that placed tampons in boys school bathrooms and frequently brags about forming a school club where he could discuss sexuality with gay teens — has frequently attacked Trump and J.D. Vance by labeling them as “weird” and “creepy.”

In addition to his bizarre social stances, Trump mocked the Minnesota governor’s bizarre mannerisms during Wednesday’s town hall event. “But he is a weird guy. He walks on the stage, there’s something wrong with that guy. And he called me weird. And then the fake news media picks it up,” the former president said.
Elsewhere in the event, Trump told voters that he was proud to receive an endorsement from several member of Walz’s own family.
Just days after the Democratic candidate’s own brother announced that he was opposed to Walz’s candidacy and said he is “not somebody who should be in charge” of key national decisions, members of the Nebraska branch of the Walz clan endorsed the former president in a Facebook post. Eight members of the Walz family could be seen wearing matching “Walz’s For Trump” shirts.
“His brother endorsed me,” Trump said during Wednesday night’s events, resulting in loud cheers from the crowd. “And his whole family! I saw the picture.”
“It was a very nice looking family. But his brother endorsed me, and his whole family endorsed me.”
