Walz knocks Trump for "descension into madness"
Tim Walz votes, slams Donald Trump after John Kelly's dictator warning

Speaking to reporters after voting early in his home state of Minnesota, Walz said the last 24 hours have been "a bit shaking" following a report from The Atlantic about Trump's comments about the military and service members that he says shows his "descension into madness."
"Donald Trump made it very clear that this is an election about Donald Trump taking full control of the military to use against his political enemies, taking full control of the Department of Justice to prosecute those who disagree with him, taking full control of the media on what is told and what is told to the American public," the Democratic vice presidential nominee said.
Walz referenced comments Trump made about Hitler, according to his former chief of staff John Kelly, and argued those who worked for the former president are issuing warnings about him.
"The opportunity here and the absolute requirement of Americans is to understand that this rhetoric has not been used in this country, certainly not by a party's presidential nominee, and the opportunity here is to elect Kamala Harris," he said.
Walz echoed comments from Kelly, a former Marine general, about Trump's understanding of the Constitution.
"Donald Trump doesn't understand the Constitution nor does he respect the rule of law," he said. "If there was ever a red line, he has stepped across it."
Walz closed with an appeal to the American people two weeks before Election Day: "Go look. Go see what he's saying and watch this descension."
