- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is under scrutiny due to his 1995 drunken driving incident following his nomination as Kamala Harris's running mate. At the time, Walz was a 31-year-old teacher who was stopped in Nebraska for speeding at 96 mph in a 55-mph zone, with a strong smell of alcohol detected.
- Court records reveal that after the incident, Walz underwent a blood test at a hospital, showing a blood alcohol level of 0.128%. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving, lost his license for 90 days, and faced a $200 fine.
- The incident resurfaced in 2006 during Walz's initial run for Congress but did not significantly impact his campaign. It was mentioned again in 2018 during his gubernatorial campaign, where Walz described it as a transformative moment that led him to stop drinking.
- Following his nomination, the incident was revisited by Republicans and the media, revealing distortions from previous campaign staff who provided misleading information about the circumstances of Walz's arrest, which were not substantiated by court records.
