Gwen Walz uses ‘teacher voice’ to shut down JD Vance’s nonsense

On Friday, Minnesota first lady Lady Gwen Walz stepped fully into the national spotlight during her first solo campaign appearance since her husband, Gov. Tim Walz, became the Democratic vice presidential nominee earlier this month.

The “Educators for Harris-Walz” event, held in Manassas, Virginia, played perfectly to Walz’s strengths. A former teacher like her husband, Walz was clearly at home among her peers, who gave her a warm welcome before she got down to business.
