Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, said Wednesday that Americans are "hungry to find a unifying message" as he and Vice President Kamala Harris make their final appeal to voters less than a week before Election Day. "People are hungry to come back together," Walz said on "CBS Mornings." "They're hungry for us to find solutions."

Harris delivered her closing argument in the campaign Tuesday night from the same site that her opponent, former President Donald Trump, spoke to his supporters before they marched to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to stop the counting of the electoral votes.

Walz said Harris' speech, which sought to contrast her vision for the country with Trump's in the final stretch of the campaign, represented "the best of America."

"One that's talking about unifying us, one that's talking about bringing folks to the table," Walz said about the speech that, in part, targeted undecided voters. "The American tradition of disagreeing and debating but still doing it in a respectful manner."

1. Roevember is nigh. ""Restoration of Roe -- that's what we're looking for," Walz said.

2. Maybe a question should be asked:

Are we more united as a country than we were 8 years ago? Or are we less united since Trump first became president?

3. Sorry Tim, but we're not that hungry.

4. Don't put words in my mouth. Kind of hard to be friendly and neighborly after hearing,

"The only good Democrat & Liberal is a dead Democrat & Liberal.". And the threats of military violence against those that won't toe the line. There will be no peaceful transfer of power from me. I'm not marching to their showers and ovens.
