Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump only built 2% of the border wall he promised.
“Donald Trump had four years, he had four years to do this, and he promised you, America, how easy it would be,” Mr. Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, said. “Less than 2% of that wall got built, and Mexico didn’t pay a dime.”
Mr. Walz made the accusation during the vice presidential candidates’ debate.
He didn’t explain his math, which seems at odds with the numbers.
More than 450 miles of new fencing was erected during the Trump administration and more than 250 miles of additional fencing was in the pipeline when President Biden took office and shut down all construction, leaving the material to rust and leaving gaps that smugglers have used to bring in drugs and illegal immigrants.
