On Wednesday's broadcast of ABC's "GMA3," Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) responded to criticisms of 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's (D) handling of riots in the state in 2020 by stating that a governor's job "is to de-escalate, to protect public safety, to bring calm. That's what Tim Walz was doing in that moment, he was trying to de-escalate."
