‘If the circumstances are right, in 2028...I’ll do it,’ the former Democrat VP hopeful said

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.

    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.

      But he hasn’t run… I also think anyone should be allowed to run for office unless there is something legally preventing you from doing so.

      I’m nervous to hear this already. I want him to be pushed into it, not to want it so much.
