Walz: ‘The Electoral College needs to go’
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee, suggested Tuesday night that the Electoral College should be abolished during two West Coast campaign stops.
Walz mentioned the concept during fundraisers in Seattle and in Sacramento, Calif., while talking to donors in the deep blue areas.
“And we know, because of our system of the Electoral College, that puts a few states in real focus,” Walz said in Seattle. “I’m a national popular vote guy, but that’s not the world we live in.”

Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota on Tuesday called for abolishing the Electoral College as a means of electing American presidents, reiterating a position he has articulated in the past while he and Vice President Kamala Harris are in the heat of a campaign for the White House.
Twice during campaign fund-raisers on the West Coast, Mr. Walz said he would prefer that presidential candidates did not have to focus on a few political battlegrounds and could instead focus on winning votes from across the country.
