My response to that is, too damn bad &#8212; politics is into you,\u201d Walz said to what he acknowledged as a bipartisan audience.<\/p>\n<p>Walz said that Harris \u201cis proudly part of the most pro-labor administration in history,\u201d and that when they \u201cwin this election, we&#8217;ll have your back like you&#8217;ve had ours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that you, not politicians, should be made free to make your own health care choices,\u201d Walz concluded. \u201cWe believe that workers deserve to collectively bargain for fair wages and safe working conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>-ABC News\u2019 Isabella Murray<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Harris-Walz campaign responds to superseding indictment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quentin Fulks, the Harris-Walz campaign\u2019s principal deputy campaign manager, reacted to the news of the superseding indictment against Donald Trump Tuesday afternoon on MSNBC and avoided remarking on &#8220;ongoing legal cases&#8221; but characterized Trump as a danger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They saw it with their own eyes, and so we&#8217;re going to continue to take the fight directly to Donald Trump on the issues that matter.

JD Vance, asked by ABC News on the tarmac in Nashville about the superseding indictment in former President Donald Trump&#8217;s federal election interference case, framed the special counsel&#8217;s actions as an effort to influence the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven&#8217;t read the whole thing, but it looks like Jack Smith doing more of what he does, which is filing these absurd lawsuits in an effort to influence the election,&#8221; the GOP vice presidential candidate said.<\/p>\n<p>The new indictment adjusts the charges to the Supreme Court&#8217;s immunity ruling.<\/p>\n<p>Vance pushed back against the Harris-Walz campaign&#8217;s assertion that the Supreme Court ruling goes too far and grants the former president too much immunity, arguing that the president needs some immunity in order to do the job.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the president doesn&#8217;t have some level of immunity in how he conducts his office, in the same way that judges have to have immunity, police officers have to have immunity. There has to be some recognition that people can&#8217;t be sued for doing their job,&#8221; Vance said.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
