Not saying it isn’t an emergency, just not sure what else Walz specifically had the power to do. What power does a governor have in this situation? Even sympathetic members of Congress can’t do much, Republicans have too much control.
Honestly I think using his popularity and positive reputation from the campaign, calling out the weirdos on the right, to continue that frank criticism is one of the best things he actually can be doing. That plain sincerity resonated with people. Unless you have a specific response he can engage with in his capacity as governor, it seems like his best move is leveraging that popularity to speak truth to power on a national scale. I’m not sure what else the Governor of Minnesota has the power to do.
It seems like a lot of excuses and inaction. He’s a popular former vice presidential candidate, and possibly one of the next presidential candidates. Hopefully, Walz has a better strategy.

Not really? What’s your excuse for not curing cancer? I just don’t see what else you expect him to do in this situation.
