Amid reports that Tim Walz’s elder brother Jeff Walz is a MAGA supporter and 100% opposed to all ideologies of Tim, the VP candidate of the Democratic Party, Donald Trump Sunday commented that Tim Walz’s brother sounded like a great guy to him. Jeff Walz declared that he is not supporting his brother and Kamala Harris. He said Tim Walz is not the type of person who should decide America’s future.Jeff is open about his differences with Tim with whom he has not spoken in eight years. The revelation was made in a Facebook post which made the Republicans jump in joy — only to be reminded by the Democrats that Trump and Kennedy Jr too do not have much of a family support.
Who is Tim Walz’s brother Jeff Walz? Why doesn’t he like Tim?
67-year-old Jeff is Tim’s elder brother with zero faith in Tim. He’s contemplating publicly endorsing Donald Trump but is not sure whether he should drag the entire family in it. “The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future,” he said adding that Tim did not inform the family that he was running for the vice president.
Jeff has always been a Trump supporter, a registered Republican who donated $20 to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. On March 30, 2023 when Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury over hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels, Jeff wrote: “We’ve just become a third world banana republic.”
Jeff lives on the Florida panhandle in Freeport with his wife Laurie. He and Laurie owned So Fine Music in Inverness, a musical instrument and equipment store from 2001 to 2010, according to public records. Walz was also an assistant principal at a Citrus County middle school in the early 2000s, New York Post reported. Laurie Walz on Facebook is friends with Tim Walz and other family members.
Why Jeff hates Tim is not clearly known. Like Tim, Jeff also used to work at a school — an assistant principal at a middle school in Citrus County, Florida, in the early 2000s. They both have criminal cases — while Tim Walz pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of reckless driving over a 2005 drunk driving arrest, Jeff pleaded guilty for allegedly stealing from a Walmart store in 2001.
