Gov. Tim Walz met with local labor leaders at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Monday.

Representatives from 13 union groups greeted him on the tarmac.

Local labor leaders are backing the Harris-Walz ticket, marking a shift from the era leading up to and during the Trump presidency.

This comes one day after he stopped by the Minnesota State Fair, his first public visit in Minnesota since being named the Democratic vice-presidential nominee. Walz, who was joined by his wife Gwen and daughter Hope, had a much different trip to the state fair than in previous years. He was surrounded by plain-clothed Secret Service officers and national and local news reporters at the fair.

The Labor Day meeting was intended for Walz to highlight how the Harris-Walz ticket plans to support union workers and their families – if they’re elected to the White House this November.

After the labor meeting at the airport, Walz continued on the campaign trail and gave remarks at Laborfest in Milwaukee in the afternoon.
