Kamala Harris’s VP pick Tim Walz has released a video showing him cleaning the air filter on his truck, in an apparent bid to play up his “everyman” image.
Wearing a National Guard cap, Walz checks the air filter on his truck and delivers a bit of homespun wisdom.
“You can always tell something about somebody’s maintenance when how clean their air filter is.”
But the video soon turns political, with Walz likening a vehicle’s manual to Project 2025.
“Look, to be able to work on this thing, you’ve got a manual. It shows you exactly what to do to fix things on this.
“Donald Trump and JD Vance have a manual too. It’s called Project 2025. It’s a way to stick it to the middle class while giving tax cuts to the wealthiest.
“Look, they didn’t give me a manual for this if you didn’t plan on using it to fix your truck. They didn’t create that Project 2025 just to have it sit around as a doorstop. We know who these guys are. We know they got a playbook to rig the economy. Let’s make sure it doesn’t.”

Reaction to the video on Twitter was harsh.
“Now show us how males use tampons,” one user wrote.
“Dude is trying so hard to be an average American, wtf is this,” added the Hodge Twins.
Others blasted Walz for setting up a so-called “snitch hotline” during the COVID pandemic and for lying about his military career.
It was also pointed out that Donald Trump and JD Vance have nothing to do with Project 2025. Donald Trump has repeatedly distanced himself from Project 2025 in public.
“CNN has fact checked your claim and despite their apparent support for your ticket they made it clear that Trump had nothing to do with Project 2025,” Tweeted popular user Amuse. “Suggesting Trump had anything to do with Project 2025 is the same as suggesting you service in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. Please stop dishonoring your Master Sergeant’s uniform by knowingly misleading the American voters. The voters can handle the truth—just tell the truth and quit lying. Please.”
