Tim Walz’s mom breaks silence over rift between Harris’s VP pick and his brother Jeff

Tim Walz’s mom has broken her silence over the rift between Kamala Harris’s vice presidential pick and his older, Donald Trump-supporting brother Jeff.

Darlene Walz confirmed to The Daily Beast on Wednesday that the relationship between the brothers is rocky – but said that she tries to stay out of the matter.

“I want to keep peace with all of them,” the mother of four said. “I think the best thing maybe, for me, is to just stay out of it.”

The two siblings have a difference of opinion when it comes to politics, with Jeff once donating to the Trump campaign in 2016 while his brother is now taking on Trump with Harris on the Democratic party’s ticket.

For Darlene, she said that she tries to avoid the topic of politics while visiting Jeff at his Florida home.

“We got along just fine,” she said.

Her Democratic VP candidate son is known for his liberal outlook and policies. He signed a bill into law last year in Minnesota, mandating that free sanitary products be available to all menstruating students in restrooms used by those in grades 4 to 12 across Minnesota schools.

The Minnesota governor also agreed to be the faculty adviser for his school’s first ever gay-straight alliance (GSA) in 1999 while working as a geography teacher at Mankato West High School.

Jeff, meanwhile, has been vocal about his support for Trump.

In Facebook posts from Friday, first seen and published by The New York Post, he said that he’s “100% opposed” to his sibling’s political ideology and even warned other social media users that he is “not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”

He has since backtracked, telling NewsNation he regretted expressing his views on Facebook, and had done so to distance himself politically
