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.

    Idk who needs to hear this, but Tim Walz is pretty moderate and centrist. You’re not going to unite the splintered left with Tim Walz.

    The biggest barrier Democrats have is that left leaning voters are not going out and voting for them.

      There aren’t that many leftists in the USA. What leftists do exist are concentrated enough in the USA that most politicians can ignore them as they aren’t in their electorate. If you doubt either of those claims please find me a state government that is consistently progressive.

      I have not much clue about american names except the most popular but what about running with Bernie or AOC as VP?

        Bernie generally runs in the Primaries but so far has not won a primary, I’m honestly not sure if a presidential candidate can run as a VP after losing the primary, but it’s whoever wins sole discretion who they choose as their VP so AOC is definitely an option.

        Something else to keep in mind is that a congressman who wins Presidency has to leave their seat in congress, which means blue -1 for either senate or house at least until the vacancy gets filled and at most until they win that district again.

          A very important thing to take into account.
