Tim Walz calls the Minnesota State Fair the best in the country

The Minnesota State Fair, an annual fair that lasts for 12 days, allows the state’s farmers to showcase their products. During his visit, Vice President nominee Tim Walz didn't just try pork chop but also had the vanilla cake.

Besides trying out these delicacies, he expressed excitement about people talking about Minnesota across the country and the economy. In the video shared on X, the VP nominee said:

“Well hey everybody. For those not from Minnesota, just to be clear, there’s a lot of great state fairs in the country. This is the best one. And I say that having tried pork chops in Iowa and been in other ones, but great state fair, great tradition with Princess Kay of the Milky Way.”

Tim Walz further added:

“Agriculture is still king in Minnesota. You see that many of these folks are going to participate in agribusiness over their lifetimes that we need here in Minnesota. So great state fair, glad to have you all out here enjoying every bit of it and started the day with pork chop and vanilla cake so it’s great. So, thanks everybody.”

When asked how he manages his state along with his campaign, Walz credited his team that helped him stay on schedule. He also mentioned that three judges were appointed in Ramsey County last week. A part of his day includes going through the decision memos and meeting with the commissioners and that’s how he stayed updated throughout the day.
