Gov. Tim Walz, running mate of Kamala Harris, is once again fending off accusations of lying about his record after an old letter resurfaced that indicated he had once promoted on campaign materials an award he had never actually received.
Back in 2005, around the time he retired from the Minnesota National Guard just months before his unit deployed to Iraq, Walz launched a campaign for Congress.
The following year, Walz claimed in his campaign biography that he was "named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his service in the education, military, and small business communities," according to an archived version of a website associated with Walz's campaign.
