The November Presidential election is drawing nearer and nearer, but it’s almost like neither side wants to win.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz was recently campaigning, and during a speech in Wisconsin, he might’ve alienated the entire city of Chicago, which could cost the Democrats Illinois.
“We’re leaving it all on the field. Unlike the Bears,” Walz said, talking about how the Chicago Bears lost a heartbreaker to the Washington Commanders after a hail mary on the last play of the game.

Fans reacted to Walz’s comments on social media.
“As a Bears fan living in Wisconsin that’s it I’m now officially voting Donald Trump Trump,” one fan said on Twitter.
“Why would you antagonize any group of voters rn lol? The sports crowd already doesn’t like you,” one fan added.
“Illinois is apparently going Republican,” one fan added.
“Bro tryna make it seem like he’s some ball knower,” one fan added.
“Tim ‘run a pick-6, I’m definitely a real football coach’ Walz,” one fan added.
It’s certainly a bold strategy. It’ll be interesting to see if it pays off.
