The Facts
Several vehicles in Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's motorcade Monday were involved in a crash on the way to the Democratic nominee for vice president's campaign event in Milwaukee. Walz was not hurt.
A pool reporter said one staff member in a press van suffered a broken arm. The same reporter said passengers in the van were "violently thrown forward" after a collision with another vehicle.
The Spin
Democratic narrative
Luckily, no one was seriously injured in this motorcade crash. Sometimes, these things happen when a lot of vehicles are traveling together at high speeds. In typical Walz fashion, the affable vice presidential candidate gave his speech without a hitch and then went out of his way to visit the hospital to check on his staffers.
Republican narrative
It's great that no one was seriously harmed in this crash. But it's also amazing how, after members of his staff and media were in a perilous situation, Walz — like Harris — refused to stop and speak with media members, including some involved in the accident. Nothing can stop the Democratic ticket from dodging questions.
