Minnesota Governor Tim Walz emphasized the importance of maintaining support for trans rights amidst a political climate fueled by Donald Trump's anti-LGBTQ+ stance. In an interview, he cautioned against Democrats losing focus and abandoning trans communities while addressing other critical issues. He defended the idea that economic and social challenges faced by the populace are separate from gender identity debates. Walz advocated for a multifaceted approach to politics, ensuring LGBTQ rights are protected alongside other pressing concerns, despite some Democrats voting to limit trans participation in women's sports.
"It's a mistake. And here's the thing: we need to tell people your cost of eggs, your health care being denied, your homeowner's insurance, your lack of getting warning on tornadoes coming has nothing to do with someone's gender."
"I think we have to figure out how to not get sucked in and allow that to be the focal point only, and that we can multitask, and we can hold several things simultaneously."
"We can protect LGBTQ rights and basic human rights at the same time, we can make sure that we hold drug companies accountable for high prices."
"President Trump is for you," the advert heard. Meanwhile, Harris responded to the advert by pointing out that Trump's previous administration backed gender-affirming care for trans inmates.
