From Fox News: In an effort to secure more support from male voters before Election Day, vice-presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., played Madden NFL together on the live-streaming platform Twitch on Sunday.
“Sundays are for football! Game on, AOC,” Walz wrote in a post on X.
The pair jumped on the streaming service Sunday afternoon, during NFL Sunday games, to discuss the upcoming election.
Ocasio-Cortez opened the session explaining that her and Walz agreed to do the live-stream a couple of weeks ago when he expressed interest in doing a game stream with her. They agreed to play Madden because he used to be a football coach, and he was familiar with the game, having played it with his children in the past.
During the live-stream, Walz and Ocasio-Cortez touted their desired goal of Democrats winning control of the House and maintain control of the Senate, and took jabs at their main opponent, former President Donald Trump.
Walz also told AOC that if he and Kamala Harris win the presidential election, he would make her chair of a committee. They were reportedly speaking about the subcommittee on energy and natural resources.
“We’re gonna win this election. We’re gonna put a gavel in your hand in the house. Maybe for that committee. So we can get something done.”

The two also agreed that they wanted to end the filibuster.
“Oh yeah, we gotta get rid of that thing,” Ocasio-Corted, a Democrat Socialist, declared.

And the whole thing appears to be staged…
Political commentator Gunther Eagleman shared a photo and wrote, “You know what’s really embarrassing? AOC and Tim Walz ACTING like they’re playing football. Problem is the controller wasn’t even on.”

It’s hard to take AOC and Tim Walz seriously when they stage these cringe-worthy stunts, like pretending to play a video football game with controllers that aren’t even turned on. Is this what leadership looks like to the Democrats? It’s a sad attempt at connecting with the… pic.twitter.com/DigPU4EdDM
