Read our privacy policy Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz munched on a pork chop on a stick and washed it down with a vanilla shake Sunday as the Minnesota governor and his family visited his home state fair. “For those not from Minnesota, just to be clear, there’s a lot of great state fairs in the country, this is the best one,” Walz said. Walz highlighted the state’s agricultural sector as he made his way past booths with signs like “PUT SOME PORK ON YOUR FORK” and “#PORKPROUD.” Cheering fairgoers crowded around to shake hands with Walz and snap photos. "I think people are seeing that we’re getting to talk about Minnesota across the country, talk about the economy here, talk about things like the state fair, talk about agriculture,” Walz said.
