Tim Walz’s Mom Fights to Keep Peace Between Him and His Trumpy Brother
Tim Walz’s mother, Darlene Walz, is not interfering in the rift between her son, who is running for vice president, and his brother, the Trump supporter who has become a thorn in the side of the Harris-Walz campaign.
“I want to keep peace with all of them,” Walz, 89, said in an exclusive interview with the Daily Beast Wednesday from her home in Butte, Nebraska, which she called a “spot in the road in the middle of nowhere.”
Walz confirmed her two sons’ estrangement and that a pro-Trump photo that went viral online Wednesday featured “mostly second cousins” from Nebraska on her late husband's side of the family posing for what passed for an endorsement photo, nominally lending the Walz family name.
