The 2024 presidential race is suddenly a family affair, as relatives of Tim Walz, the Democratic running mate of Kamala Harris, are going public with their support for former President Donald Trump.
One image circulating online shows eight Walz family members wearing T-shirts for Trump, as they’re gathered under a Trump 2024 banner.

That photograph, first shared by a family friend, was later posted by Charles W. Herbster, a former Nebraska gubernatorial candidate and ally of Trump.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Herbster’s original caption stated: “Tim Walz’s family back in Nebraska wants you to know something.”
Trump subsequently posted it on his Truth Social profile.
Newsweek reports: “When asked about the authenticity of the picture, a representative for Herbster told Newsweek that those in the photo are related to Walz through his grandfather’s brother and that it was shared by a family friend. The family gave Herbster permission to publish it online.”
Meanwhile, Tim Walz’s older brother Jeff Walz posted comments on Facebook scorching the Minnesota governor.
“I’m 100% opposed to all his ideology,” Jeff wrote of his brother Friday evening.
“My family wasn’t given any notice thst [sic] he was selected and denied security the days after,” he added.
“Help MAGA … Get on stage with President Trump and endorse him…; Help save this country….,” a Trump fan wrote on Jeff’s post.
“I’ve thought hard about doing something like that!” Jeff replied. “I’m torn between that and just keeping my family out of it.
“The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”
Jeff Walz told NewsNation he was merely trying to clarify to family and friends that he’s not on board with his brother’s politics, and wasn’t looking to influence voters.
“It wasn’t my intent, it wasn’t our intent as a family, to put something out there to influence the general public,” Jeff said Tuesday.
“I was getting a lot of feedback from my friends, old acquaintances, thinking that I was feeling the same way that my brother did on the issues, and I was trying to clarify that just to friends.”
“I used Facebook, which wasn’t the right platform to do that. But I will say, I don’t agree with his policies.”
NewsNation reported “the ‘stories’ he could tell about his brother were simply family anecdotes, such as Tim vomiting in the car on family trips, not stories political in nature.”
“Nobody wanted to sit with him, because he had car sickness and would always throw up on us, that sort of thing,” Jeff said. “There’s really nothing else hidden behind there. People are assuming something else. There’s other stories like that, but I think that probably gives you the gist of it.”
