Democratic Rep. Chrissy Houlahan – an Air Force veteran – called Republican criticisms of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz’s military record “abhorrent.”
Houlahan told Kasie Hunt on CNN This Morning that she believed the GOP was “running scared … they don’t know what to do with themselves.”
“There is no there there,” she said. The congresswoman, who represents suburbs of Philadelphia in Chester County, explained that despite the fact her district is split between 40% Democrats, 40% Republicans and 20% Independents, she’s a Democrat who has succeeded in winning her races.
Houlahan said her constituents embrace the “civility” and “joyfulness” she has tried to embody on the trail in the past and that has also been promoted at the Democratic National Convention.
“We cannot take anything for granted,” she urged.
