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.

    No sooner than he mentions that he might run to the right wing attacks on his age begin.

    I’d like someone younger too but let’s take the candidates we can eh? Dude’s compassionate and far left for a dam at the moment.

      And I’m sure he’ll choose a young running mate (AOC maybe? Though I’d hate to see her leave Congress for such a powerless position).

      The candidates we can? Surely Democrats can find a single candidate that is under 50.

        You can find them further left than him too.

        Walz is already popular. Unify now, spend the next four years opposing Trump and building support around someone who can sweep the election.

        Kinda like Trump did to Obama and Biden.
