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 vote for him but he’d need to ignore the consultants next time if he wants any hope of winning.

    Personally, I’m hoping Zelensky will run for US president after strong Dien in Ukraine. You might be thinking that someone from another country can’t be president. Well… looks at current situation in White House At least this one would be elected.

    Would have wanted him as president nominee either way, hope he gets it. The name Tim Walz is a name that needs to go down in history with the title “saviour of the US” or smth like that

    “Run for president in 2028” XD That ship has sailed. I don’t think they will have any more elections.

    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.

    We know that female candidates with male VP’s named Tim don’t win against Republicans. Hillary and Kamala proved that. But this is wholly different, so its possible, concievable

    If he was less supportive of Israel and law enforcement I’d be more excited about this.

    Honestly there isn’t anyone left in the party that I’m happy with - even AOC started transitioning into radlib territory.
