A new leaked image shows members of vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz’s family are supporting his Republican rival.
The photo shared by former Nebraska GOP gubernatorial candidate Charles W. Herbster shows eight people wearing ‘Nebraska Walz’s for Trump’ t-shirts.
A representative for Herbster told DailyMail.com those posing are related to Walz through his grandfather’s brother.
‘Tim Walz’s family back in Nebraska wants you to know something…’ Herbster captioned the image.
Trump replied to the image on Wednesday by previewing he plans to ‘meet’ with another member of Walz’s family who is not in the image – the governor’s older brother Jeff, who the former president says endorses his White House bid.
The photo quickly went viral among MAGA users who say his own family’s opposition to his candidacy is proof that people should be wary of voting for a Harris-Walz ticket.
The Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign did not respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment on the image and the growing number of family members coming out in support of the Donald Trump– J.D. Vance Republican ticket.

The image of the grammatically incorrect t-shirts donned by a faction of pro-Trump Walz family members comes after it was revealed that the Democratic vice presidential nominee’s brother warned against people allowing him into the White House.
Jeff Walz, 67, lives in Florida and is Kamala Harris’ running mate’s older brother. He posted about his brother’s character in a Facebook post last week.
‘I’m 100% opposed to all his ideology,’ he stated in one of the posts.
But Jeff now admits he didn’t mean to influence voters with his social media activity.
‘It wasn’t my intent, it wasn’t our intent as a family, to put something out there to influence the general public,’ Jeff Walz told NewsNation.
‘I was getting a lot of feedback from my friends, old acquaintances, thinking that I was feeling the same way that my brother did on the issues, and I was trying to clarify that just to friends,’ he continued.
‘I used Facebook, which wasn’t the right platform to do that. But I will say, I don’t agree with his policies.’
Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday the image of the Walz family and said he plans to meet Walz’s brother.
‘Thank you very much, Jeff,’ the former president wrote. ‘It is a Great Honor to have your Endorsement.’
‘I look forward to meeting you soon!’
