Walz amplifies Harris’s attacks on GOP weak spot: infertility treatment

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz often highlights his personal experience with fertility treatment, which he sees as a Republican vulnerability. After a conservative Alabama court ruled that frozen embryos were equivalent to children, leading to a temporary halt in IVF services, Walz used the ruling to challenge Republicans who had voiced support for IVF. Despite Republican efforts to avoid contentious reproductive rights issues in the build up to the 2024 election, Walzer’s personal advocacy for reproductive healthcare is seen to resonate positively with voters.
