Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, needled former President Donald Trump on Thursday for not holding any campaign events in honor of Labor Day, the 130-year-old holiday recognizing the American labor movement.
“It doesn’t surprise me that Donald Trump did not do a damn thing on Labor Day,” Walz said of the GOP nominee at an Erie, Pennsylvania, rally. “He took the day off, which — he should thank organized labor for that day off.”
Harris and Walz blitzed through Michigan and Wisconsin on Monday’s holiday to campaign before labor groups.
“If I were him, I would be hiding down in Mar-A-Lago, too,” Walz continued. “I wouldn’t want to face working people. I wouldn’t want to look them in the eye and tell them why their work doesn’t matter, why it should be harder to unionize, why he and his folks have undermined middle America.”
