Walz addresses debate missteps and abortion stance on Sunday show

In the United States, nearly a week after a vice presidential debate, Democrat Tim Walz appeared on 'Fox News Sunday' to address criticism regarding his stance on abortion rights and to acknowledge past misstatements. During the interview, he discussed the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, particularly Israel's right to defend itself against Iranian threats. Walz defended a law he signed as governor that ensures abortion protections, emphasizing the importance of women's health care decisions. He also highlighted the economic proposals of his running mate, Kamala Harris, aimed at making life more affordable for middle-class families. Walz faced scrutiny over previous misstatements related to his military service and personal life, asserting that voters are more concerned about broader issues, such as the implications of Donald Trump's policies on fertility treatments. He concluded by expressing confidence in his transparency and connection with voters, suggesting that they prioritize significant issues over his past errors.
