Sanders isn't the first to point out Walz's potential to rally working-class voters. As Business Insider's John Dorman reported, Walz could help connect with rural and working-class voters who are unsure about voting blue. Multiple Minnesota labor leaders have voiced support for Walz in an open letter to Harris, calling him an "essential partner in winning in November."
The Midwestern Democrat has also taken it upon himself to pit his rural roots against former President Donald Trump's VP pick, JD Vance, who is from Ohio. Walz is seen as a candidate who understands the working class and can rally rural voters.
