Harris campaign: Walz 'misspoke' on handling weapons 'in war'

Vice President Harris's campaign has pushed back on criticism of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's military background, saying the vice-presidential nominee "misspoke" in a video pushing for gun control when saying he used combat weapons during his time in the National Guard.

“Governor Walz would never insult or undermine any American's service to this country — in fact, he thanks Senator Vance for putting his life on the line for our country,” a Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson said in a statement emailed to The Hill.
