>In the weeks following the vice presidential debate, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has been sounding more like the aggressive campaigner who got the role than the buttoned-up figure he’s cut since joining the ticket.

>Dressed in khakis and a navy Harris-Walz sweatshirt Monday, Walz delivered some of his sharpest attacks yet against former President Donald Trump. Walz appeared more natural in his latest appearances on the trail, including in his signature flannel in rural Pennsylvania, after shedding the blue sport coat and white collared shirt he’s favored for the last few months.

This is the Tim Walz I love to see. Suit or plain clothes, he is best when he is out there hammering Trump and Vance. His cutting remarks about them, calling out their bullshit, is part of what made him so beloved. I feel that this willingness to pointedly attack Trump and Vance was what was mostly missing for me during the debate. I felt he was tamping it down to like 30 percent.
