Walz’s motorcade involved in a crash on the way to a campaign stop, with a 'few minor injuries'

Several vehicles in Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s motorcade were involved in a minor crash on the way to a campaign stop in Wisconsin on Labor Day, causing some minor injuries, Walz said. 

"Some of you might have heard, some of my staff and members of the press that were traveling with us were involved in a traffic accident on the way here today," Walz said at a Monday campaign event following the crash. "We've spoken with the staff. I'm relieved to say that with a few minor injuries, everybody's going to be okay. So thank you."

He added that Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden, who were campaigning together on Monday, "called to check in, and we certainly appreciate their concern. And I want to express my sincere thanks to the U.S. Secret Service and all the local first responders for their quick reaction to help. So, on behalf of the vice president, myself and our entire campaign, we're grateful for your work today and every day."

Earlier, a reporter in a pool report said a Walz staff member appeared to have a broken arm and was treated by medics at the scene. 

The crash happened between vans near the back of the motorcade just before 1 p.m. while they were headed from the airport to LaborFest on Monday.

Eagles’ political ad endorsing Kamala Harris for president is ‘counterfeit,’ NFL team says

The Philadelphia Eagles are taking action after a "counterfeit" political advertisement endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election made its rounds on social media on Monday. 

The Eagles put out a statement denying that the animated poster showing Harris in an Eagles helmet was an official advertisement from the team, adding that the organization was working to have them taken down.

"We are aware counterfeit political ads are being circulated and are working with our advertising partner to have them removed," the statement posted to social media read. 

Images of the fictitious poster, reportedly put up at a bus stop in Philadelphia, read "Kamala, official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles."

The poster also included a link to the Eagles website where voting information could be found. But the information available on the website as of Monday afternoon appeared to be last updated before the Pennsylvania and New Jersey primaries.

According to CBS News, the poster is the latest creation of street artist Winston Tseng. 

In a 2023 interview with Street Art News, Tseng said he likes to "use brands and advertising to communicate societal issues, hopefully bringing some unexpected attention to them in our daily lives."
