Vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz made a campaign stop in rural Pennsylvania this week, and Stephen Colbert was simply delighted with his outfit choice for the event. The CBS host joked that it was very apt, and is part of Walz’s ever-increasing Midwestern-ness.
To kick off his monologue, Colbert first celebrated the start of early voting in Georgia, which saw a huge turnout — a 123% increase from the previous record in the state. The host joked that Georgia has “always been one of my favorite southern states, right after Mississippi.”
But he then turned his attention to swing states like Pennsylvania, and applauded Walz for dressing the part.
