The image was released following the revelation that Walz's brother, Jeff Walz, a resident of Florida, would not be endorsing any political candidate after his Facebook remarks disparaging Kamala Harris's running mate were discovered.

Jeff Walz said his brother was not the type of character people want when making decisions about their future. He also stated that he thought long and hard about endorsing Trump in public, but he ultimately told NewsNation that he didn't want to get involved in politics. It wasn't their family's intention to put anything out there to influence the public, he declared.

Nevertheless, Trump seemed to believe that Jeff Walz had given him the go-ahead. Trump thanked Jeff, saying he was looking forward to seeing him soon and that it was a great honor to have his approval.
