Philonise Floyd, the brother of George Floyd, praised Democrat Montana Gov. Tim Walz, the running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that he is “built for this fight.”
In an interview with NBC News, Floyd spoke about how, “at first,” Walz had been “just a regular governor,” but after Walz revealed he had asked Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to lead prosecutions regarding George Floyd’s death, it showed “he was not playing.”
Floyd added that he could not “say anything bad about” Walz and that he wanted to “shake his hand.”
“At first, he was just a regular governor, just looking like a politician,” Floyd told the outlet. “Then, he stood up and he put Keith Ellison in place as the prosecutor, and that showed a lot of people he was not playing. He was serious.”
