Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate, has suggested he may run for president in 2028.
Reflecting on the Democrats’ loss to Donald Trump and JD Vance, he admitted: “A large number of people did not believe we were fighting for them in the last election – and that’s the big disconnect.”
Walz said his life experience, rather than ambition, would guide his decision.
Though his VP campaign was marred by gaffes, he remains open to running if he feels prepared.
It’s cute that he thinks there will be an election in 2028, or ever again, for that matter.
Bold of him to assume there will be elections in 2028.
He was the better half of the ticket.
Give me AOC or Bernie.
I’m worried that despite having very good views himself that he is going to be tainted by the past. Not without reason too, because the consultants made him stand down with the “weird” insult and progressive messaging. Like most of these people, if it’s not their authentic campaign, then whose is it? He’s demonstrated, like most people who reach a moment in their career to seriously consider this, that he’s too malleable for populist politics. It’s possible that he completely sheds that team and runs his own, but who here really thinks that’s going to happen? I’d believe it if we had AOC for VP. The pressure to succumb to inferior messaging is higher than it’ll ever be during a presidential campaign, I don’t really trust anyone to stay firm except AOC, Talib, and Bernie because they have demonstrated resistance in this sort of high pressure consultant environment.
Governor Walz, we need you protecting Minnesota as you have been. While you possibly being president would be the boost of democracy this country needs, my opinion is that you hold the fort exactly where you are.
I’d vote for him but he’d need to ignore the consultants next time if he wants any hope of winning.
So are we going to vote for the lesser evil genocide supporter even in 2028
Personally, I’m hoping Zelensky will run for US president after strong Dien in Ukraine. You might be thinking that someone from another country can’t be president. Well… looks at current situation in White House At least this one would be elected.
Hopefully this time they don’t muzzle him. Tim’s a great example of dem policies working,
Can you please just fucking not
We need someone who is actually going to make some changes, not another return to a milque toast centre right 70 year old white dude
Would have wanted him as president nominee either way, hope he gets it. The name Tim Walz is a name that needs to go down in history with the title “saviour of the US” or smth like that
I guess I’m the only one against this idea. I’m not keen on candidates that have already lost running again. Get someone else up there to try.
“Run for president in 2028” XD That ship has sailed. I don’t think they will have any more elections.
Please do it
