CNN’s Scott Jennings called out Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Sunday after a panelist called Walz a “consequential” pick for Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate.

Walz and Republican Sen. J.D. Vance are set to face off in their first debate as their parties’ running mate picks, hosted by CBS News on Tuesday. On “State of the Union,” former Harris Communications Director Ashley Etienne accused Vance of causing “more damage” to the Republican ticket while praising Walz for bridging the “cultural divide” among voters.

“I think what I noticed about all of this there’s never been a time, that I can recall before now, where the vice presidential picks have been so consequential to the actual top of the ticket. You look at J.D. Vance was supposed to somehow expand Donald Trump’s reach, instead, he actually has done more damage, harm than good,” Etienne said.
