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’d argue that it wasn’t so much that the campaign failed but the DNC did by failing to recognize the importance of the election and worrying too much about not turning off Republicans. The reality of Tim Walz is he’s not going to be subject to the racism and misogyny Harris was. Maybe that’s enough.
