Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate, suffered a personal setback in the 2024 election as he lost his home county, Blue Earth, to President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump won 49.6% of the vote there, while Harris received 48.3%, marking a symbolic defeat for Walz, who built his political career in the area.
Walz, a former teacher and congressman known for his moderate stance, had previously turned a Republican seat Democratic and won Minnesota’s governorship by a large margin in 2018.
His campaign faced challenges, including scrutiny over past statements about military service, which the Trump campaign leveraged as a “Stolen Valor” issue.
Without going into profile history, and assuming American, I’m guessing a land based service, either the Army or Marines. Seeing as the Marines had M16s longer than the Army did. I’m going with Marines.
That said, I have a hunch you might be European somehow. Maybe Germany from how you misspelled Mossberg? You’d have to be NATO, but I’m not super knowledgeable about the German services.
Nope. My secret is safe. I’ll give another hint. Those were the only fire arms we carried underway, and they were mostly considered a joke. Especially the 50cal.
Underway? Joke? Definitely the Coast Guard then. That, or potentially the Navy, which would also make sense, but I’m going with the coast guard.
