evidence: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who was recently named as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, has a legislative history of supporting the rights of transgender minors and gender-affirming care, which has come under fire from top Republicans, including former President Donald Trump and his running mate Ohio Senator JD Vance. At a campaign rally in Montana on Friday, Trump, the GOP's presidential nominee, accused Walz of signing a law "letting the state kidnap children to change their gender so that they go home." Vance, during an interview with ABC News' Jonathan Karl on This Week that aired Sunday morning, backed Trump's comments, reiterating that the policy amounts to "kidnapping." [...] In April 2023, Walz, who has been the state's governor since 2019, signed a Minnesota law aimed at protecting the rights of the LGBTQ+ community to access and receive gender-affirming health care—which can include a range of medical procedures and care such as surgery and puberty blockers—without intervention of out-of-state laws.
