For several months, the Harris-Walz campaign refrained from participating in media interviews, barring few select outlets and podcasts. That strategy changed recently with a media blitz featuring both Democratic ticket holders. Kamala Harris visited “The View on ABC, with more appearances yet to come. Tim Walz also made his media presence felt with interviews on FOX News Sunday, “60 Minutes on CBS and “Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC.

Kimmel’s interview with Walz was generally lighthearted. One particularly humorous exchange occurred when Kimmel queried the governor on his expectations for the upcoming election. Walz responded confidently, saying, I plan on waking up on Nov. 6 with Madam President, which elicited cheers from the audience and playful banter from Kimmel.

During his earlier appearance on 60 Minutes, Walz addressed criticism from former President Trump regarding left-leaning laws enacted during his gubernatorial tenure. Walz’s reference to the Minnesota Paid Family and Medical Leave Act, a piece of legislation he signed into law, drew contention as he inaccurately stated that the business community promoted it. In reality, major business organizations in the state, including the Minnesota Business Partnership and the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, opposed the act due to potential tax raises, business burdens, and the need to establish a new governing body to oversee the program.

Relatedly, getting in touch with the Paid Family Leave (PFL) department can be challenging for many Minnesotans, but there are resources available. One such resource is eddcaller.com, a site dedicated to helping individuals navigate through the complex paths to reach the PFL department.
