Right-wing media outlets have been helping former President Donald Trump’s campaign push the bogus attack that Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz have never had a “real job” in their lives. The claims have gone unchallenged in right-wing media, including the statement from Trump National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt that “neither of them, by the way, have had a real job in the outside world, outside of politics in their entire careers.” In reality, Harris has served as the district attorney of San Francisco, attorney general of California, a U.S. senator, and vice president. She also worked in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office and at McDonald’s. Walz has served as a U.S congressman and Minnesota governor. He also worked in the Army National Guard, as a public school teacher and football coach, and on a farm. Despite that background, right-wing media outlets have been helping the Trump campaign push the bogus attack that the two haven’t worked any “real” jobs.
Right-wing media and Trump campaign surrogates push bogus insinuation that neither Kamala Harris nor Tim Walz worked a “real job” in their lives.
Both Harris and Walz have held non-politics-related jobs, as Harris worked at McDonalds and Walz worked as a teacher and coach prior to entering politics.
