When Kimmel asked what would happen if Walz’s actual launderer called him, he said he didn’t think that far ahead, while Kimmel joked that he should update his dry cleaner’s name to “Madam Vice President.”
Walz also divulged the tale of how he initially ignored Harris’ call to tell him he was her VP pick because he didn’t recognize the number and thought it was “a car warranty thing,” prompting a call from a “high-ranking aide” to convince him to pick up the call.
To date, Vice President Harris and Walz have done a combined 31 interviews while former President Trump and his running mate JD Vance have spoken with various media outlets about multiple issues concerning voters across 69 interviews leading up to election day.
