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.

    The point was it was something you could say to someone in real life to let them know those political positions aren’t okay, without getting their defensiveness up. Just, “I dunno man that seems weird to me, want another beer?”

        Yeah, but there’s a lot of people that were on the fence. And being social creatures we usually tend to float things with our friends to check the vibe. There’s no point in sharing a beer with a die hard MAGA supporter but your union buddy who is getting seduced by talks of lowering regulations?
